Ask HN: Any seasoned Double Robotics testimonials?
I am intrigued by Double Robotics remote telepresence product. I had a colleague ask me about re-locating out of state the other day, and in the back of my mind, I was wondering if a solution like Double would be effective. I still find the concept kind of creepy, but it appears to have momentum, and when you get used to it ... it does seem practical.
I'm wondering if anyone in the HN community has had some extended time using one in an office setting, and can share their experience.
- bliti 13y agoI work remotely and the idea of having a robot there as my avatar is a bit ridiculous (this coming from someone who is very into robotics). Unless the robot carries out any specific task (aside from standing around with your face showing in a screen) it is a waste of resources. Plus we have very smart phones these days that are able to do live video calls/conferencing.
