magic hover ball

Most magic hover balls use gesture-based controls or motion/infrared sensors. Some respond directly to hand gestures while others detect nearby objects with infrared motion-sensing to change direction or hover.

Power options vary by model. Some use removable AA batteries, many have a built-in rechargeable lithium (Li‑poly) battery that charges via a USB cable, and a few list a specific lithium battery or require USB power for charging.

Designs commonly include soft foam bumpers or fully enclosed propellers to reduce the chance of injury and minimize damage to furniture and walls during play.

Common inclusions are a USB charging cable or charger. Some models also include spare rotors, and a few explicitly list a rechargeable battery or an included battery cell.
