VGo on the Today Show

Posted on February 17, 2011 by Sanford Dickert

This morning, Linden Baty and his “Baty-Bot” gets national exposure on NBC’s Today show:

What makes this a compelling use for the VGo is the fact the majority of the time Linden is using the VGo, his classmates are sitting in class with him. And around the 5:30 mark, you can hear how Linden feels “present” with the VGo.

Additionally, the video shows both the use of the navigation interface (6:30 mark) which will be part of my feedback coming soon.

    I sometimes use TelePresence technology in business meetings, but this story was truly an inspiration to the possibilities of the technology connecting people who would otherwise have no choice but to be isolated. Okay, it can’t open doors, but it puts him in the classroom with friends and his teacher, what an accomplishment, and kudos to the school district.
