#14I don't understand all the hate in this thread. This is a clever and creative use of technology that combines a favorite toy (iPad) with the one thing it lacks: physical interaction with real world objects.

There are so many beautiful product pages out there which completely fail at the basic task of telling people what they're selling. It's baffling.

This product definitely relies on the video to convey it's magic. If you don't watch the video, you won't get it.
