At the recent DICE Conference, Anki's Boris Sofman discussed his product, Anki DRIVE and how the interaction between physical products and digital products work.

According to Sofman, "We’re at the earliest stages of a technological revolution that could reinvent countless aspects of our daily lives. This is why, for us, Anki DRIVE is not just a proud first step for the company, it’s a catalyst for the future of Anki and the industry of consumer robotics."
