Handy Viewer

The Handy Viewer is an accessory that was bundled with the AIBO ERS-311/B and ERS-312/B, and was only available in Japan.

Using an early version of the Bluetooth protocol, the Handy Viewer connects to an AIBO 311/B or 312/B using a Bluetooth-enabled software (Hello Chatty, Chatty Life, or Kawaii AIBO). The device allows AIBO to send short messages, and sometimes emoticons, to its owner. Additional features include controlling AIBO remotely, giving AIBO commands, or taking pictures using AIBO's camera of which can be viewed on the device.
