Hire an Avatar

Users pay a monthly service fee to have access to the Hire an Avatar system. This system allows them to command a living person around while a camera they are wearing observes in first person perspective.

In many ways this service is like a mmorpg except real humans are being commanded around the real world, however it is viewed and controlled primarily online. Users have access to the Hire an Avatar system at scheduled times so each of the system's much belabored employees can actually make money and not become a sort of slave.

Although not slaves per se, the characters users get to control will passively do just about anything. They respond to commands to move forward, move backwards, move left, and move right just like a computer avatar. In this way they are just like a computer avatar, as they cannot be communicated to directly. They cannot be given complex instructions like "clean the bathroom", only keyboard commands and predefined action hot-keys like "drop kick" or "forward dive" which have to be carried out unhesitatingly.
