NEXTfest: Pebbles

Pebbles, designed by Telbotics, is designed for children that are too ill to attend school. From bed, a child uses a joystick to swivel the robots head and raise its “hand” in response to the teacher and other students. Already, the system is in place in major hospitals and classrooms around the country.

No word yet, if the system could be modded to help you cheat :P

    The original design was modified to incorporate a secondary 4″ LCD to let the teacher and children in the class know what the distant child is viewing. The desision was based on 2 factors; maintaining the integrity the human head on the primary LCD and we had a student who was usig the zoom feature of the camera to cheat by checking out the “smart” kids work.
