Silas Adekunle, the Founder and CEO of Reach Robotics, just signed an exclusive sales deal with Apple.
Silas’ company has built the world’s first augmented reality gaming robots, and it looks like he can only break more ground. Reach Robotics signed an exclusive sales deal with Apple. This deal will see his robots, Mekamon, sold exclusively in Apple stores in the UK and US.

What the heck is a MekaMon?
Or Meka Monsters. These robots combine real world game play with augmented reality, seamlessly. The robots are made of plastic, and are controlled from a smartphone app, which actually creates the virtual world for battle and exploring.

Silas told Techcrunch:

“I demoed to (Apple) at GDC. One of our investors set up a meeting and they loved it. At the time, I didn’t know they were going to announce ARKit. When I saw it, it made sense. It was the right direction.”

Players will be able to choose between real world play or and augmented reality. And from what we see in the videos, the robots will be able to move and use any as cover.
