It's time to reach to your old dusty netbook off the shelves: at least we can't just wish off our lovely netbooks just yet; Xexxon Technologies founder Colin Adamson, has something on the offering – the Oculus Telepresence Robot, an extraordinary interlock of personal robotics, low-priced gadgetry with wireless Internet surveillance capability that can be run by just about any iOS device, tablet, or computer.
Most surveillance systems these days are fixed — if you want to get surveillance in every room it would force you to install more units around. As a substitute to this hindrance is the Oculus Telepresence unit that simply assembles your webcam-outfitted netbook for patrol duty.
Setting it up is very easy — users would just need to place their 11-inch netbook on an adjustable stand and have the open-source control software installed on a different PC. The software is compatible with Windows (7, XP, Vista,) operating systems, Android and iOS. Then the Arduino micro-controller lets the netbook's webcam periscope to slant, well you may not be in a position to do much to stop those intruders once they get into your staff, but you'll be able to see that roommate who always goes into your staff.
