There are already robotic toy fish on the market, but LumiPuff and the Capsule will be the most interactive (and most expensive) electronic pet fish yet. For $250 USD, you will receive:
- 1. LumiPuff: A ~3″ robotic swimming pufferfish with a light and vibration sensor.
- 2. Capsule: A ~12″ sealed spherical aquarium with an induction base. The Capsule will supply LumiPuff with all its electrical power via wireless induction. That means owners will never have to replace or recharge LumiPuff’s batteries.
Owners can change the color of LumiPuff with a bluetooth enabled device through a mobile app. LumiPuff can also be tasked to flash lights when your mobile device receives a notification (new message, email, call, etc.).

Owners can “play” with LumiPuff by tapping the aquarium; this is obviously something we wouldn’t advise with live fish, but it’s still something many people (especially children) do regardless so LumiPuff may be the answer to these over-active fingers.
Furthermore, owners will have to “feed” LumiPuff when it flashes lights to indicate it is hungry. …read more
