Recently, I posted my thoughts on alternate reality. It turns out that there is a company currently working to make this come alive! While they are very reserved on their technology, You can assume their end result by watching the video on their home page. You can find them here: http://www.magicleap.com/

Projetini - Project End
So after giving it some thought, I decided not to pursue the projectini project as I was moved to a new position in my current company and won't be able to manage this project and the other. As of now, I'm setting the status of this project to suspended in hopes that I can reopen it or someone would be willing to develop my idea. Priorities are a definite staple in my life, and considering my new up and coming life events; It's a better choice to put this on the back burner and revisit the idea when I have more time in my hands.

As Promised
As promised here are some pictures and a video of the robot I've created. The robot works either through the WAN (Internet) or LAN (Home or Office Network). The logic is mostly done in an Arduino board with Ardumoto shield enclosed within the black box. I'm using a 12v 5ah battery with attached charger of which is attached to an extension plug that also has the tablet plugged in. I'd love to hear some thoughts and ideas on how I can improve him!
As far as cosmetics go; I'll be giving some companies a call on how much the would charge for a 2 part hollow plastic enclosure. I'm hoping it wont be as expensive so the end product does not break the bank.
You can also attach a Verizon MiFi card and control him outside as long as there is enough signal and low latency.

Inexpensive Telecommuting robot
Recently I've been involved on a side project funded by my current employer to build an inexpensive telecommuting robot. I am proud to say that I have successfully completed this task and believe that I could sell it at a $500 price point. This is a full, tall robot that can be accessed via any machine as long as they are within a network. I will post more on this tomorrow with pictures and video.
Good night!
