If you are one of those who have joined the fashion of the photos in selfie format, I think what I'm going to tell you today will surprise you. Although you may end up considering it a direct attack on the very sense of the self-portrait that has become a trend, because the iPhone accessory that they presented on the occasion of April's Fool completely changes the way we take photographs of ourselves. It's called Sphero SelfieBot and it was a joke played by those from the company that developed the accessories with an aesthetic similar to the Anglo-Saxon April Fool's Day joke, Sphero and Sphero 2.0. But many fell into it.
In principle, the news of the development of the assumption Sphero SelfieBot was one of those that appear as real on April 1, but then the interest in the product grew. The truth is that as soon as you watch the presentation video, which you can access below, one thinks that that drone controlled by iPhone that makes us portraits completely eliminates the concept of the selfie in which we are the ones who take the photo . And also, knowing what this technology costs, it would probably make it uncommercial. Even so, many fell for the invention, and the demand with the joke indicates that the selfie is a fashion that does not go out of style, but is gaining followers all over the world.
Criticism in this sense is served for those of you who hate that kind of joke. But it should be noted that it may also be that with one thing that was not very important, an important market niche has been discovered. As I said before, develop something similar to Sphero SelfieBot It would be really expensive, but it seems that the interest is in full swing. Thus, similar accessories, cheaper and above all more realistic, based on the world of the selfie are currently at their best to be offered to the public.
Would you have fallen into the Sphero SelfieBot prank Or would you know from the moment that it was a joke?
