Every so often it is very fun and interesting to see the new projects that are proposed on pages that support novel ideas such as KickStarter or Indiegogo; And today I came across one of those ideas that is crazy enough to be cool at the same time. It is about Omnipresenz, a mix between the internet, video games and something from the movie avatar…. Yes, this is how strange it sounds.
Omnipresenz explores the world with a human avatar
The idea behind this Indiegogo campaign is to create a virtual platform in which people can take “control” of another person from a distance as if it were a kind of video game, giving instructions, which would be carried out by the avatar human in real time, while the one who gives the orders sees what happens from his computer.
This would be the application from which you see the avatar and give it instructions
Omnipresenz, according to its creators, would function as a great way to do good works of charity. They hope that the people who connect to the platform can collect sums of money, which they would then order the avatar to use to do good deeds, such as buying food for the most needy or helping someone on the street. The possibilities are enormous and the only “apparent” rule at the moment is that the avatar cannot perform illegal actions or actions that harm other people or the avatar himself in any way.
How Omnipresenz would work
The avatar wears a helmet that has a camera attached to it, giving Omnipresenz users a first-person view, as if they were in a video game. For their part, Omnipresenz users would connect to an application or web page that would have side menus through which they can interact with the avatar and give it instructions and even send it money to do good deeds, while watching everything in a transmission live streaming.
Initially, only the members of the company would be avatars, but in the future they could also be users
The creators of Omnipresenz dream of people who are interested not only in doing good works, but also in people who want to explore the world, and are willing to pay for this experience seen from the eyes of their avatar, in this way those who could not pay for an expensive trip to the other side of the world, they could at least settle for exploring it using an avatar.
An online donation system is proposed that allows collecting money in real time to do good deeds
The idea is quite revolutionary, and perhaps it will succeed. If you are interested, you can enter Indiegogo and make a contribution to finance this project, and who knows, in a few years you may be exploring the world with a human avatar. Would you like to use an avatar system like this one day?
