A new design has landed on the crowd funding site Kickstarter this week, which has been designed to transform your iPhone into a telepresence robot, that can be controlled via remote.
The Helios has been designed by Tian Long Wan, and has been created as an affordable, and portable way to have your own personal Telepresence Robot. Watch the video after the jump to learn more about the Helios project and see it in action.
Features and Compatibility
Helios can be controlled via remote and is compatible with the Apple iPhone 4, 4S and 5 smartphones, and comes with its own companion iOS application. All you need to control Helios is a browser and an Internet connection. This makes it incredibly versatile and easy to use, whether you are at home, in the office, or on the go. The companion app is designed to be user-friendly, allowing you to connect with your Helios robot seamlessly.
“Helios isn’t simply about connecting, it’s about strengthening your meaningful but distant relationships. Helios’ transformative hardware and the accompanying app allows you to start changing how you interact, crafting your experiences and transforming your presence.”
Applications and Benefits
The Helios telepresence robot can be used in a variety of settings. For instance, it can be a valuable tool for remote workers who need to attend meetings or collaborate with team members in different locations. Imagine being able to navigate through your office space, attend meetings, and interact with colleagues as if you were physically present, all while being miles away.
In educational settings, Helios can be used to bring remote learning to a new level. Teachers can use it to interact with students in different classrooms or even different schools, providing a more engaging and interactive learning experience. Students who are unable to attend school due to illness or other reasons can still participate in classes and interact with their peers.
For families and friends separated by long distances, Helios offers a way to stay connected in a more personal and interactive manner. Instead of just talking on the phone or through a video call, you can actually move around and interact with your loved ones’ environment, making the experience more immersive and meaningful.
So if you think Helios is something you could benefit from, visit the Kickstarter website now to make a pledge and help the Helios telepresence robot become a reality.
