I wonder if it would give more 'presence' by using it from within VR and a stereoscopic 360 cam. You would need a way for the double to present in what direction you are looking at, so perhaps make a cylindrical screen (not sure if these exist) or a led line with one or two 'eyes' like Kit or a Cylon. This would solve the problem of the uncanny valley.
We have the capability to do this, but all people can come up with is an uninspired ipad on wheels.
- rhaps0dy 9y agoIf you were using VR glasses, then no camera could capture your face and show it on the robot. It's probably better to control the view direction using the gyroscope on the tablet that you are holding with your hands.

Make the robot head transparent and spherical, with a one way screen for the stereoscopic camera, and holographically project your avatar (with googly eyes) inside the sphere looking in the same direction.
