Not entirely sure what to make of Double Robotics’ “iPad on a pole,” which enables remote workers to zip around an office (or, perhaps, a museum) from afar. This Digital Trends piece dubs it a “$1999 Telepresence Robot” and talks up its ability to “peer over partitions to see what others are up to when they think no one’s looking,” which all sounds suitably Orwellian. Perhaps the best comment comes from eBay founder Pierre Omidyar, who noted on Twitter, “I once told Larry and Sergey they should build something like this but I don’t think they ever did."
