In 10 years: “I can’t come in to work, there’s too much snow on the road” will be responded with Boss: “Stop making excuses and get your VR on”

[@deviled1775]

with stuff like virtual desktop or just those vr workstations apps i can bet it can be responded with even now

[@zombiedave556]

I bet that’s gonna be in the future

[@lexirusso5840]

Lol 😂 so many people do this in winter time it’s hilarious. It’ll totally be non excusable if this becomes common one day for jobs.

[@breksetxd1923]

The shot of Reachy giving out the gift bag, reminded me of all those scenes in movies and games where a robot gets torn in half, impaled on a pole and reactivates when the protagonist gets close to him.

[@LilNeitsyt]

Yeah

[@pumpuppthevolume]

if u ask me it should be doable ...meaning offer a great experience ...in less than 10 or 15 years.... if it gets a lot of funding

You should check out Espire 1: VR Operative. It's a sci-fi stealth game centered around controlling a military telepresence stealth robot.

soooo can we put them in a ring and make them fight eachother with people controlling them? kinda like the first love death robots ep

[@petemalogne5219]

This could seriously be a huge thing in our future.. think about the upgrades and custom work people could do.. big hardware tech companies behind em.. be sick!!! Would need some hard regualtion maybe.. also maybe have a rule that they can not become mobile in anyway lol... gotta stick em on some kind of special mechanical track or somethin for battle. Haha, just put too much thought into this. Happy 420!

I remember when they started construction on the Star Wars section of Disneyland they were talking about working on animatronics that could be controlled using VR remotely to create characters that could interact with guests. I wonder how their efforts are going.

Thank for the great video, this is amazing. Been interested in teleoperation for a while now, especially combined with VR. Control of drones, robots, and vehicles in this way for non-military use will only grow. I'm Imagining a next gen version of Reachy with fully articulated hands, combined with VR body tracking and haptic gloves!

This reminds me of the episode of Big Bang Theory when Sheldon slapped together a robot to take his place in day to day life. If he had replaced himself with Reachy, his friends and coworkers probably wouldn't have wanted him back.

[@n0obic]

Hello Mike you probably won't se or read this but I have an oculus quest 2 on it's way to my house. I've been saving up money for it for like 2 years now and I am so happy. I watch so many of your videos w/o the the oculus quest 2 and I think it's really helpful. Thank you for making me happy and making so many and so good videos.

[@patflahertyvideo]

I wrote a science-fiction story about this concept when I was in middle school in the 80’s. My story took place well into the future and this remote technology was perfected to where the user would enter a tank full of gel that acted as full movement detection to control the robot. I called them SDC’s “Sensory Duplication Cyborgs” lol. I still don’t know if that’s a truly accurate name. But in my story, the applications were to to send them into deep space. It allowed for the years of travel and survival in unsurvivable conditions for humans. Basically you could experience walking on Mars from a lab here on earth remotely, with no risk of human life. But then my story was about the military applications, and how it went bad. The twist at the end was that they kidnapped the bad guy by drugging him, and they replaced him in his bed with a remote cyborg, without him knowing. Ah yes, wonderful 80’s sci-if fantasies! Haha.

[@VMRDY]

The only problem with the Mars part is that the signal to and from the robot over there to a person on Earth would take about 3 minutes to transmit. That’s a lot of latency. Imaging if your video game character took three minutes to respond to your controller input.
