Avatar iTag - Toy of the Future
I get asked quite frequently about the innovations in toys and what people should be expecting in the next few years from toy manufacturers. New toys for the year like the Mindflex, where you move balls through a maze with the "power of your mind", have paved the way for even more technology in the toys arena. One of the most innovative and interesting new toys out there are the new toys from the upcoming movie by director James Cameron, Avatar. On the surface they look like ordinary action figures...
But each toy comes with something called an iTag. Which dosen't look like much until you watch the video and see what the iTag can do when you use your computer and your webcam.
Avatar iTag...
Pretty cool huh? If you ask me, this is where toys are headed. As more and more kids reach the end of their toys days (and this age keeps getting younger and younger) and turn to technology like laptops, iPods, and cell phones, we can bet on seeing more and more toys that integrate tech and toys to create a whole new level of play.
For a limited time, when you purchase select Avatar toys, you can get a free iTag with purchase. Click here for more details.

Hmmmmm.
So. What do you do with it?
It's nice that something gets displayed on the screen but so what? Are you going to sit there holding the iTag up to the webcam all afternoon? How much playability is that?
Frankly I'm rather unimpressed.

I'm reminded of the "magic eye" fad in the 90s.

Looks like the Pet Rock of the CGI generation.
