Hello everybody!
I decided to dedicate an entire “Say It With Links” post to (in my opinion) one of the most interesting, forgotten, underestimated and ancient forms of web - real world interaction: Telerobotics or remote control over the Internet.
Back in the 80’s and 90’s, there where so many projects of this nature… most of them conducted by universities from all over. I don’t know why, but nowadays there are only a few left. How come?? Just try it, this stuff is really fun!
I definitely sense an opportunity to be explored here by brands. And universities again could use some fundings and become partners with online agencies on a win-win relationship.
So, I’d just like make you think about the possibilities here and consider bringing this thing back to life.
For example, how about playing a game trying to grab a client’s prize/product (did anyone say cell phone? Mp3 player?) while manipulating a real robot arm over the Internet (like those insert coin crane games)?
What about streaming video from special sponsored cameras on football games?
The possibilities are endless.
