Video sharing website Youtube plans to showcase the talents “behind its screen” through webcasting, with a live show,”Youtube Live”, due to go out on 22 November in San Francisco.

The value of Youtube lies in the fact that is a platform driven by the community, says spokesman Chris Di Cesare, adding that the show will include performers popular with the site’s users. Well-known stars like rapper Will.i.Am and singer Katy Perry will feature, along with Youtube sensations like 20-year-old Esmee Denters, who posted video of herself covering popular songs and became a star on the web.

Since its origination in 2005, YouTube has been associated with all kinds of internet videos, varying from snippets of TV shows and off-beat demonstrations of skills such as stacking to serious campaign ads in the recent US presidential election

Remote Control Shopping Robot from TMSUK

Misc. Tech No Comments »


Robot developer tmsuk has unveiled a remote-control robot that promises a new way to shop from the comfort of home. A prototype of the telerobotic shopper — a modified TMSUK-4 humanoid robot that incorporates a variety of cellphone communications technology — was demonstrated on July 10 at the Izutsuya department store in the city of Kitakyushu, Japan.

In the demonstration, an unwell grandmother unable to go shopping with her granddaughter sent the robot in her place. Using an NTT DoCoMo video-capable cellphone, the grandmother was able to control the robot and enjoy the shopping experience through the robot’s camera eyes. As curious shoppers looked on, the woman maneuvered the robot to the hat section, eyed what was available on the shelf, and had her granddaughter model a few for her before deciding which one to purchase.

According to tmsuk, this innovative type of “3D communications” technology brings us a step closer to a future in which telerobotic shoppers roam the fashionable areas of cities like New York or London.
