It's called the Oculus Telepresence Tool , an impressive mesh of personal robotics, wireless Internet watch, and low-price gadgetry that can be controlled by just about any tablet, iOS device, or computer. That's thanks to a few illustrious innovations from Xexxon founder Colin Adamson, including an clear source rig built with open source Java software. Not only can the OTR spin around your empty apartment or office floor without a problem, but it can also charge itself and provide two-way audio and visual communication.
In truthfully, as long as you have hardwood floors (or really, just nothing with a carpet), the OTR's hanker battery life and study frame looks like it'll defend up to anything short of a psychotic, easily-frightened house cat. As Adamson points out in the demo, the charging shabby uses auto-targeting to make sure that the robot hits its identify, so you can probably go on a long vacation without having to worry about the OTR dying. Of speed, it's not going to do much more than roll around helplessly if a burglar strong-arms his way into your quarter, but at least you'll be able to make sure that your roommates aren't eating your snacks, using your critical home PC, or wearing your favorite jacket.
