Uber for video calls

Some way for people in the hospital to have someone come by and use their mobile device to help them do a video chat with somebody that they miss or cannot go and see.

Or you could even hire somebody to go and stand somewhere and broadcast Facebook live or whatever live video from a corner or an event or a family reunion that you cannot make it to. You could make it sort of like Uber or sort of like some of those dating apps where you connect and pay all within the app. And some people could even volunteer to be the one holding the device and going to the different places with their device just to make somebody's telepresence available.

Along those same lines you can also use telepresence by strapping an iPad on your chest or on a helmet and be the person remotely. And then they can tell you which way to turn and may be sit or stand or that sort of thing. Instead of using a robot to do it remotely you hire a person in the pay $15 an hour or something like that going be your body. Around the screen at an event or at a meeting.
