Telenoids

They're somethin' else.



Alright, so these things are supposed to add more of a human element to telephone conversation, by giving the person talking a bit more of a presence with some doll taking the second person's place.

It's also as fucking creepy as Ghost in the Shell's Puppetmaster sans the tits.

Oddly enough, they look like haniwas.

    Someday, people are going to get it right and not drop their human-imitating technologies into the uncanny valley.  Someday.


     


    Today is not that day.

    Or just turn towards actual humans rather than cheap imitations.


    Some people are trying to add a human element to this dehumanized society through dehumanized methods, and are obviously failing at it.

    Schitzo,


    telenoids on a wall


    Maybe your Ghost in the Shell comparison is a more accurate one, but I thought they kind of gave off a Neon Genesis Evangelion vibe. I definitely agree about the creepiness factor though.


    Do you think the idea is have some sort of physical presence for the other person in the room? Otherwise, it seems a bit weird to me, given the existence of Skype (as Super Lazuli mentioned) and other videophone type stuff. That said, if people actually find the telenoids useful, I cannot really fault them for that.

    Wouldn't want one of them to hug me like that though.

    ...What? Do you mean phone sex?

    Except you'd wear sensors so the one your partner fucks would act as much like you as possible



    It would be creepy, but it will be done

    Jeez, at least you thought this out.

    ^ ...I've thought about how I'd try making something like that if I had programming experience



    Long distance + No sex at all can make a brain creative...
