Avatar in Real Life? This Capsule Device Gives You Full-Body Control of a Robot.
It looks like a cross between a spaceship pod and a massage chair, but it’s not just for lounging. This capsule lets you control a robot with your own body.

The Capsule Interface picks up on tiny shifts in your body—like the way your calf tenses or your wrist moves—and translates them into commands for a humanoid robot. Walk, push, lift, pull. All you have to do is twitch the right way. According to H2L, it creates a full-body “synchronization” between person and machine, like your consciousness just beamed into another location.
