Gadget Shop Hammacher Schlemmer launches new Site and offers a $350,000 Dinosaur

Hammacher Schlemmer is probably the oldest gadget shop out there. They offer unique products since over 163 years. The legendary gadget shop has now launched a cool new site design. The featured product on the homepage is also a very dramatic gadget. You can actually buy a 20 foot animatronic Triceratops dinosaur for $350,000. This high-tech dino is featured at museums around the nation and Hammacher offers you the chance to take one home.

The motion-sensing, 20' long animatronic triceratops that responds to onlookers with lifelike reactions and fortissimo bellowing. Motion-activated cameras installed into each eye work in unison with customized interactive software that enables the Cretaceous creature to recognize multiple subjects' facial features. Once identified, subjects' tracked movements trigger a set of responses: it sways its tri-horned head right, left, up, and down, stomps and scuffs its right forelimb, and opens its jaws while growling--all powered by digitally controlled servos and silent, pneumatic air-activated cams. 

Visit Hammacher Schlemmer now.
