Wait till Shree Modiji reads this !

Times of India ( 06 Feb ) carries following news :
Now, pay a surrogate to live your life
as you
System Allows One To Strap On A Screen Showing Your
Face So You Can ‘Remote-Control’ Your Routine
A new “human Uber” could let you pay
someone to live your life for you. Japanese researcher Jun Rekimoto has
developed a special
screen that can be strapped to a person’s face and allow them to live on
your behalf. By dressing up as you and having your face shown where theirs
usually is, you’ll be able to pay someone to go about your life instead.
The technology is aimed at allowing someone
— a “surrogate”— to
live your life for you, wearing your clothes and behaving on your instruction.
You, on the other hand, would be able to lounge at home, watching events
through your laptop and using its camera to communicate with people your
surrogate meets.
“To do this, a surrogate user wears a mask-shaped display that
shows a remote user’s live face, and a voice channel transmits a remote user’s
voice,” a page describing the tool, known as ChameleonMask, reads.
“A surrogate user mimics a remote user by
following the remote user’s directions... This design is based on our
hypothesis assuming physical and social tele-presence can be embodied by such a
surrogate human who imitates the remote user,” it adds.
Such telepresence systems have been
developed before. But they have mostly been mounted on robots, which the person
talking could then drive around, giving the feeling of being in the office,
conference or other space that can only be joined over the internet.
In contrast, the ChameleonMask appears to
give a more complete experience, with the screen being carried around by a
person who can also be dressed the same as the user might be.
The experience is much better than those
robots, its creator claims.
“It also eliminates many difficulties of
tele-operated robots wandering in the envi- ronment,” the page describing the
innovation claims. Experiments have shown that people are able to think of the
surrogate as the real person, it also claims.
Though the mask has been described as
“human Uber”, it’s actually far more involved than that. Rather than
transporting something, the person is required to live as you and behave on
your instruction. It was shown off last week at the EmTech conference, where a
user tweeted a picture of the strange contraption that was later shared by tens
of thousands of people.
Why might Shree
Modiji want to read this ?
For the following reason :
·
During
2014 General Elections , he had pioneered the revolutionary “ Election
Campaign Strategy “ of addressing 800 election rallies through holographic
projection of himself .
In 2019 elections , expect BJP to distribute millions of permanent
to voters ( of course , free of cost ), instead of those temporary paper masks.
Just imagine the thrill of millions of
voters being able to ask questions to Shree
Modi , remotely and getting instant “ answers “
in his own voice / face-gestures !
Then , after returning to power ( with 400 + seats , if my suggestion gets
implemented ) , expect Shree Modi to bid goodbye to All India Radio for
his “ Man Ki
Baat “ broadcasts and switch-over to “ Mask Ki Baat “ !
