TelePounce
A web cam with a remotely controlled robotic arm that moves a laser pointer around | |
A new form of "telepresence" to unite people with their beloved pets while they are away at work (and squander lots of corporate resources in the process). Use an X10 video cam and a remote controlled laser pointer to allow people to entertain their cats over the Internet.

I really like this, idea, title, all of it. + |
|
| |
Good question - perhaps hacking into someone else's telePounce and blinding *their* dog? |
|
| |
Now, this gives me an idea ...... |
|
| |
Could you use it to get dogs and cats to leap off very high balconies? And what about my blind cave fish, eh? |
|
| |
I would like an indoor remotely guided robot with audio link (and tennis ball launcher) so that I could play with my dog while I'm at work. |
|
| |
And I'd like an outdoor version with a laser so that when a cat came into my garden I could <SKRRRK> |
|
| |
You would be able to talk to the dog, refill its food and water bowls, etc. |
|
| |
Cute idea. The name made me think this was some sort of chatroom emote enhancement, though.
*pounce* |

[8th], why keep a dog and fry cats yourself? |
|
| |
do it, they could do with some exercise. fat great lumps - thats the cats [forni] not you! |
|
| |
That would have been "ponce" [Pharaoh Mobius] |

Doesn't take much to beef up the lazer and turn this into a security device. Just don't like the idea at all.
Better to have voice so you can interact.
If you want to entertain the cat, get a second cat.
You could always buy a lazer pointer and just mount it to an overhead fan. |

Laser going round on the fan, cat all dizzy and vomiting on the carpet? |
