IEEE news: FIRM DEBUTS WIRELESS VIDEO-CONFERENCING ROBOT


FIRM DEBUTS WIRELESS VIDEO-CONFERENCING ROBOT

The Giraffe Video-Conferencing Robot, a 5-foot-8 mobile video-conferencing system, can roam an office like a surrogate supervisor, according to the firm HeadThere. The device’s 14-inch screen and 2-megapixel camera can look up and down and turn in place to face speakers in a meeting. HeadThere says its robot can be lowered so that its "head" is at sitting height for face-to-face conversation. The system will be available in 2008 at a price between $1,800 and $3,000.
