iPad Facetime Telepresence Robot at WWDC

by


In the center of the WWDC madness, Taptic Toys was showing off a telepresence robot based around the iPad and Facetime. So, instead of going to the office, you can send your robot in your place. They are using a Mi-Fi device to get around Facetime's Wi-Fi requirement. Seems just to be a prototype, so they are gauging interest for an actual device.

Not so stinky

Cool - no more commuting to work. The office will smell a lot better too without all the obese bods shuffling about aimlessly.
