Using a Kinect camera and a "NeckFace" wearable, ReMotion renders its user as an attentive avatar capable of moving around a room. hackster.io/news/remotion-…

“With ReMotion, we show that we can enable rapid, dynamic interactions through the help of a mobile, automated robot.” - Mose Sakashita (Mose Sakashita), Ph.D. student Cornell Information Science Read more: bit.ly/3oaB9hY

Cornell researchers have developed a robot called ReMotion that occupies physical space on a remote user’s behalf, automatically mirroring the user’s movements in real time and conveying key body language that is lost in standard virtual environments. news.cornell.edu/stories/2023/0…

How can robots help create dynamic tutorial videos? A group of University of Toronto researchers, led by CS PhD candidate Jiannan Li developed ‘Stargazer,’ an interactive camera robot that responds to subtle instructor cues. Learn more: uoft.me/9g2🤖📹
