Telepresence has always been a thing of fantasy portrayed in movies and sci-fi fiction series depicting the physical presence to a different location. This very concept of telepresence has prompted creative product designers to bring this Robotic Stand for iPad or any other tablet that can project your presence to any other location. Unlike other robots that the world has seen so far this one cannot move around on mechanical legs, rather it gives your tablet a whole new functionality during video calls wherein you don’t have to worry about the interactivity. The difference with this telepresence robotic hand is that unlike other similar products in the past, you are the one who controls your own view, thereby freeing others from the burden of setting the camera view.
Kubi which means neck in Japanese is the name of this amazing product up for funding on Indiegogo crowd funding website and it gives you as a user the ability to pan and tilt for looking around. Targeted specifically for education, offices, day care centers, weddings, nursing homes, retail stores, museums; this robot hand has 300 degree smooth motion pan and 90 degree tilt.
