The interrottron look great. I've search a bit , and there's even DIY instructions for building something similar , pretty easy: http://makezine.com/projects/eye-contact-device/ http://makezine.com/projects/eye-contact-device/ I wonder why it hadn't caught up? Also , if you turn the screen/camera 90 degrees , you may be able to capture body language. With regards to #3/#4 would working in a local communal center, remotely to your job would work ? Is it possible to design some culture that would help with the motivation problem ? Anyway, it feels like something that deserves a sub forum of it's own, with a community experimenting and sharing, right ?
