Double Robotics leverages Apple's iPad with Double remote telepresence robot

A necessary byproduct of living in the future — as we do — appears to be the occasional bit of tech that is simultaneously very cool and remarkably impractical.

Belkin's Thunderstorm speaker dock brings room-filling audio to iPad

In showing off their wares, companies sometimes put product reps in odd positions, but mild sensory deprivation isn't terribly common. So it was novel to find myself in a soundproof booth with a Belkin representative, checking out the Thunderstorm.
