ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an automatically interactive toy capable of responding to natural triggering events, such as motion in the vicinity of the toy, and providing a plurality of interactive responses. Specifically, the toy configuration senses a natural triggering event with a sensor which activates the interactive response. Upon the occurrence of the natural triggering event, the triggering sensors activates an actuator containing a motor and a series of gears. The motor drives the series of gears to create a response by a transformation mechanism. In the preferred embodiment, the transformation mechanism causes an object or toy configuration to transform from a closed to an open position. Thus, the toy or object may have one appearance when closed and a different appearance when opened to expose an inner chamber which may contain a secondary object or toy.
