Kubi is a smart tablet stand that can turn your humble tablet into a basic telepresence droid. It has a moving, rotating neck that lets you physically look around to interact with remote environments, affording you legitimate telepresence capabilities.With an iPad on its cradle, it lets you look around the surroundings remotely, panning left and right 300 degrees, as well as tilting up and down across a 90-degree range as if you're in the same room. It comes with a web-based motion portal that can work with many existing chat apps (Facetime, Skype), as well as its own dedicated app.Its cradle can fit any tablet between 7.9 to 10.6 inches in either portrait or landscape, provided it has Bluetooth (it's compatible with 4.0).Revolve Robotics is currently collecting funding for the Kubi on Indiegogo. You can get in early on the action for $199.
