iPad Facetime Telepresence Robot at WWDC

Monday June 6, 2011 8:09 am PDT by Arnold Kim

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.

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

Looks like he was grabbing the wheel to stop her from escaping! I think she must really be trapped inside the thing. Scary!
