Created in June 2003, Violet, the Smart Object Company’s vocation is to develop technologies, products and services enabling still objects to communicate and become intelligent.
Violet’s products are of a novel kind, as they respond to easy access needs while adapting to the users expectations; Violet is the creator of Nabaztag, the world’s first intelligent, interactive Wi-Fi Rabbit:
Nabaztag is a very attractive, almost irresistible little white rabbit; born in 2005, Nabaztag has since become an Icon for the new era of smart, communicating objects:
- His body lights up, he moves his ears, speaks, reads, listens, and he even detects the presence of other objects (by sniffing them) *
- As he is permanently connected to the Internet, he can act,
react, transmit, or broadcast many types of content available over
his network such as news, messages, music, text, alerts, radio, etc. - Reading books Aloud, (thus ushering in the RFID revolution) – is the latest skill Nabaztag has acquired, adding to his multiple existing talents.
- When connected to the Internet, this amazing Rabbit has infinite
potential for future development.
Recommended retail price for Nabaztag is £97.50.     Live Better With a rabbit!
Violet’s products are a completely new breed, blending into the everyday world, they are messengers of emotion in a new world of communication.
*Ztamp – Nabaztag is fitted with an RFID chip reader. The RFID (Ztamp) is like a small postage stamp that you can stick to any article you want to be recognized by Nabaztag
When Nabaztag “sniffs†the presence of such objects, you can choose which services or actions you want him to associate with it.
Ztamps will be available in 2008.
