ONEBOT Building Block AR Gun Shardtooth Shark in crowdfunding: toy gun to assemble with AR functionality
The ONEBOT Building Block AR Gun Shardtooth Shark is a toy rifle that can not only fire bullets, but also allow us to play AR (augmented reality) games
The rifle to be built uses a large number of parts with lever mechanisms to obtain a transmission of mechanical energy, thus allowing you to experiment with mechanical principles during the assembly process and consequently understand basic concepts of mechanics.
The AR Gun Shardtooth Shark is built with more than 1100 elements and can be assembled with two shapes: a shotgun firing bullets (obviously not real) and an AR rifle. So it is possible to both try the mechanical ejection mechanism after being assembled, or be used with a smartphone to achieve AR interaction, which greatly increases the fun.
In the "firearm" state, after opening the magazine compartment to load the block bullets, the continuous action of loading and pressing the trigger triggers the hammer to fire the bullets in the shape of blocks, so as to test the fun to shoot live.
In AR rifle mode, on the other hand, the combination of AR and real elements allows you to experience an "interstellar journey" in any space, with the rifle in your hands you will fight enemies that in this case are aliens between the boundary between earth and space . Through AR augmented reality technology, unreal characters can indeed be integrated into the real environment.
Finally, the ONEBOT Building Block AR Gun Shardtooth Shark also uses a brand new conductive element to make your hands, components and touch screen form an electrostatic field and thus have smart control without having to touch the screen with your hands.
