These egg-like objects are designed so that two people can sense each other’s presence and movements even when physically separated. Roly Polys come in pairs, each object mirroring the other’s movements and creating a simultaneous reaction. If one Roly Poly is gently tapped, for example, the corresponding object will move to the same degree, even if located across the world. In this way, the objects offer a “spontaneous and subtle mode of instant communication.”
