Let BlueStacks turn your PC, Mac, or laptop into the perfect home for Build Your Own R2-D2, a fun Entertainment app from De Agostini Publishing S.p.A..
About the App
Build Your Own R2-D2 turns your completed astromech into a responsive, camera-equipped buddy you can drive, talk to, and show off. Pair the app with your fully assembled droid and take control of movement, lights, sounds, and a bunch of clever tricks—all from your phone or tablet. It’s from De Agostini Publishing S.p.A. and sits comfortably in the Entertainment space, but it also feels like a hands-on robotics toy you can actually steer. Prefer a bigger screen? You can run it on your PC with BlueStacks for wider controls and a roomier camera view.
App Features
- Two ways to connect: Choose Direct mode to link straight to R2‑D2’s built-in hotspot, or use Local mode to connect both devices through your home Wi‑Fi. Local setup is simple—teach R2 the network using a unique QR code he scans with his camera.
- First-person video driving: Switch to Video Control to see exactly what R2 sees as he rolls and rotates his dome. On-screen controls sit over the live feed, and you can snap photos or record videos from his point of view.
- Classic remote mode: Prefer watching from the outside? Use Normal Control to steer like a standard remote, with clean, tactile controls.
- Built-in gallery: Save your photos and clips to the in-app Gallery or copy them to your phone’s library for easy sharing.
- Smart routines: Trigger Patrol mode for autonomous exploring, toggle lights and signature sounds, play short projector clips, or even make him pop out the lightsaber.
- Voice commands: Turn on voice control so R2 responds to a range of spoken prompts—hands-free fun when you’re mid-build display.
- Face tracking: Enable facial recognition and R2 will pick out a human face and turn to follow it, adding a playful “I see you” moment.
- Sound options: Quickly mute or enable R2‑D2’s sound effects whenever you need quiet or want the full movie-like vibe.
- Ready when he is: The app works once your R2‑D2 is fully assembled and powered on, then you’re set to roll.
