A one-week-old dinosaur which its makers claim develops its own 'personality' depending on how its owner treats it and can respond to its surroundings could be on the shelves in toy shops by this summer, it was revealed on Tuesday.
The small green and brown dinosaur is based on the long-extinct Camarasaurus and its physiology has been created through looking at original fossils of the Jurassic creature.
Mr Chung said: 'Pleo is the first truly autonomous life form capable of emotions that allow personal engagement.' The toy has sensors fitted all over its body as well as microphones on either side and an infra-red camera in its nose so that it reacts like a real living, breathing dinosaur.
Although it will never grow in size, its personality develops depending on how much or how little he is looked after. Abuse sensors will pick up if he is 'hurt'. If he is hit in the leg, he might limp for up to 20 minutes, demonstrators at the Vivid Imaginations stand at the London fair said.
One added: 'If you are nice, he will become a nice dinosaur but if you are not, he will become unpleasant.'
So my question would be if this is the case do you think that the emergency wards are going to be full of kids savaged by their dinosaur for treating it badly?
