Yess!! This is exactly what I have been looking for. My whole family lives in Houston, and I live in San Francisco. I always feel so isolated, especially during holidays, when there is family gathering. I can't wait to get my new Ohmni robots for my upcoming Xmas celebration!
@elsa_now Yeah, we actually had users using Ohmni for Christmas gathering last year :)) We need to start dressing our robots as Santa for this occasion.
👋 Hunters!
There's an official press release going out at 7am today, and Ohmni is only available to product hunters (email @vnguard at contact@ohmnilabs.com and use PH213 in your subject line). Full scale shipping is expected by October 2017.

We all have people we love that live far away. Maybe it's your spouse, parents, or grandparents. When life takes us apart we all miss the closeness of hanging out in person. However it's usually hard to find time to visit. And Facetime or Skype isn't usually satisfying for keeping in touch.
Communication could get much better through robotics. Ohmni is a robot that gives you the freedom and control that's missing in today video calls. You can drive and look around in the home, and the other side doesn't have to lift a finger. This enables all sorts of new experiences such as watching the Warriors game with dad, checking to see if grandma took the right medications, or even learning to cook with friends.
How Ohmni is different: Set up is effortless: just unbox and turn on. The moving neck makes the robot a lot more emotive and human. Given the specs, their price is quite reasonable. All the attention to product details really helps the robot stand out, and gives users a much more polished experience compared to other telepresence robots.
Check out the videos and stories on their Indiegogo page in the "Get It" link. Their beta users love their robots and they already saved one life. This product changes my point of view about telepresence robots. If it's done right, it could really transform how families stay connected.
@thomas_tomhawk_burningham The speaker is a Jabra SPEAK 410 with built-in omnidirectional mic. So it can get quite loud. Our beta users have no troubles hearing or being heard in a one or two bed room apartment. PH users can buy one right now starting at $1399 and we will ship to you in 2-4 weeks (depending on demand).
@vnguard thanks for the reply! I really like the 'neck' idea. Also is the tablet included in the price? (Vs double robotics requiring a purchase of an iPad)
@thomas_tomhawk_burningham We're very glad you like the neck! We found that it made a huge difference to our user experience compared to other products. They said Ohmni felt more human and natural. And we does include everything as Mark said. We want to make sure it's super easy for user to set up. No need to worry about hooking up and installing app on the tablet before use.
