Questions & Answers

Q: How does the multi-touch system with infrared sensors work?

The multi-touch system utilizes infrared sensors to detect hand movements and gestures on a traditional monitor, allowing for an interactive touch experience.

Q: Can the telepresence balloon be used for secretive surveillance?

Yes, the telepresence balloon enables remote surveillance as it broadcasts audio through a built-in speaker and displays a person's face, making it an ideal tool for bosses to monitor their workers from afar.

Q: How does Telenoid replicate facial expressions?

Telenoid uses facial recognition software and a webcam to capture the user's facial expressions, which are then transmitted to the telepresence device, allowing it to imitate the user's facial movements.

Q: What is unique about the Bogo Pogo?

The Bogo Pogo is a redesigned pogo stick that features a 'boassist,' which is made of aircraft-grade aluminum. This allows for higher and more stable hopping compared to traditional pogo sticks.

Summary & Key Takeaways

• A multi-touch system using infrared sensors allows traditional monitors to be manipulated by hand and even controlled from a distance.

• A telepresence balloon with a projection of a person's face can be remotely controlled and used for surveillance.

• Telenoid is a telepresence device that imitates facial expressions transmitted through a webcam, and a handheld version is also available.
