Given the huge need for engineers in SV, I'm curious as to how well one of these robots would allow someone remotely to participate in our team's day-to-day interactions. Particularly pair programming..
I'm not $2,000+ curious, but still has me wondering..
- mikkom 14y agoAnd why that would be better to use a strange moving machine rather than usual video conferencing that only requires a monitor/projector and simple camera.
- FredBrach 14y agoI think I got the answer: because you don't have to schedule the conference. This is amazing imho.
- janineyoong 14y agoLast Friday I used the Double to sit at the lunch table with the team in San Francisco (I'm in New York). Lunch is not something the team is inclined to open up a regular videocon session on, but lunch conversation is something I miss out a lot on from working remotely. People talk about stuff (work and non work related) a lot more candidly at the lunch table than in conference rooms. There were a lot of nervous giggles and "that's creepy" remarks but I think its just about getting used to the form.
