I'm adi robertson with the verge and i'm here at toy fair 2014 with a nerf can see s12 blaster since time immemorial people have been putting cameras on the guns real and plastic so now nerf has actually just built this camera right into the blaster the nerf cams major feature is obviously the record button right here the blaster is equipped with a fairly low resolution point three megapixel camera for video and stills and the microphone next to the screen can record your color commentary the camera records to a 4 gigabyte video card and some minimalist controls that you cycle through what you've got and delete the outtakes of course you can also just take out the card and do all this on the computer the blaster works with other magazines from nurse and strike line but by default it holds 12 darts and runs on two double-a batteries which power both the camera and a motorized shooting system people are already attaching cameras to their blasters and nerf actually makes an official mount for your iphone but this is built right in and won't weigh it down it's actually an idea we're surprised we haven't seen sooner for those of us who haven't used anything from nerf in a while it's kind of like seeing a replay of your last death and a first-person shooter except that you're the one behind the sights what we're looking at right now is a prototype which means not only are there some bugs to be worked out the controls are frankly kind of confusing but presumably by the time it comes out this fall though the least put labels on them which will help justify the roughly eighty dollar price tag you
