Telepresence avatars.
May also make couch potato telecommuters look more svelte than they actually are, which might be an increasing concern in the US 😉
They say that people take a few days to acclimate in an office setting, and then they seek out the avatar, not the real person when they want to communicate.
Interesting to reflect that one of the earliest Bell Systems / AT&T advertising messages was:
Reach out. Reach out and touch someone.
(more on the ad campaign) Begs the question about that missing sense….
Which in a strange twist, made me think that the Texai wallflowers up there should be channeling Chatroulette when not in use… That could stir things up a bit in the Office.
"A combination of simple bio-acoustic sensors and some sophisticated machine learning makes it possible for people to use their fingers or forearms — potentially, any part of their bodies — as touchpads to control smart phones or other mobile devices." here it comes, Eppie – magic of tomorrow… love your comments as usual:)
