And why that would be better to use a strange moving machine rather than usual video conferencing that only requires a monitor/projector and simple camera.


I think I got the answer: because you don't have to schedule the conference. This is amazing imho.


Last Friday I used the Double to sit at the lunch table with the team in San Francisco (I'm in New York). Lunch is not something the team is inclined to open up a regular videocon session on, but lunch conversation is something I miss out a lot on from working remotely. People talk about stuff (work and non work related) a lot more candidly at the lunch table than in conference rooms. There were a lot of nervous giggles and "that's creepy" remarks but I think its just about getting used to the form.


Sincerely amazing.
