The EyeClops BioniCam is a portable microscope from Jakks Pacific, the makers of the popular Jakks EyeClops Bionic Eye toy.
The EyeClops BioniCam expands the play in three ways:
First, with a simple flip of a switch, kids can adjust the new multi-zoom lens for an eye-popping peek at the world in 100x, 200x or 400x magnification.
Second, with BioniCam’s new portability feature, kids can now take EyeClops on-the-go, with a color LCD screen and clip-on battery pack that allows them to view amazing discoveries right on the hand-held EyeClops unit, anywhere!
Finally, a built-in camera and flash drive empowers kids to capture images and video of specimens and, with the included USB key, upload to a computer to be printed, emailed, posted and shared.
The wireless “EyeClops BioniCam” from Jakks Pacific has doubled the top magnification to 400x and has its own built-in color LCD instead of requiring a computer screen for viewing. It also comes with a USB flash drive presumably to record and transfer whatever images are projected on it, according to Dvice.
The EyeClops bionicam should be available by fall 2008; no word yet no pricing, but current EyeClops models are available for about $50, $60 with a viewng stand.
