Ask HN: IDEA E-commerce instant grat via live cam

Imagine this: You order a t-shirt and it brings you to a live stream of your t-shirt being pulled from the shelf by a robot arm and put into a box. I think that this would be the best loader for an internet purchase which was that the user got to see his/her order fulfilled (kind of like sitting at the sushi bar or watching people make pizza). It also gives instant gratification to the end-user, possibly increasing return customers. Even without the robot, it'd be great to see my purchase cause an instant reaction. I could for example see the person start making my Domino's pizza order. I believe the increase of transparency/customer communication would increase return customers. I also played around with the idea of paid real life internet interactions. This means that people would pay to rent a robot virtually. For example, I could rent a segway mounted webcam to check out and chat with people at a conference. Many others think towards robot surrogates a la anybots for rent. However, I think that the learning curve on those devices are still too high to be consumer (rent) practical. Furthermore, I don't think it'd be terribly entertaining or valuable. With that said, this type of device could be very popular/lucrative with those who are bedridden. A better example of internet triggered robot interaction would be to pay around $5 to fire a robot controlled paintball gun; or $2 to throw a plate a wall etc. In other words, it'd be like an internet controlled vending machine of entertainment. Better still (especially for charities) would be to throw a ball at a dunk tank especially if there were celebrities. Imagine how much the Red Cross could raise if Justin Bieber volunteered for this internet enabled dunk tank. Anyway, I'm just throwing out some ideas. I'd love to hear any thoughts or about anyone who's doing this.
