Nabaztag, Karotz & Cie

The Nabaztag is a communicating object in the shape of a rabbit (nabaztag, նապաստակ, is an Armenian word that can be translated as rabbit or hare). Imagined and created by Rafi Haladjian and Olivier Mevel, it was launched in June 2005 and then released in 2006 in its advanced version: the Nabaztag:tag. It is the forerunner of connected objects and the Internet of Things, and the precursor of smart speakers like Alexa or Google Home. The Nabaztag emits voice or light messages, and can also wiggle its ears.
