Episode description

Human Ubers. They're probably not what you're thinking. • The idea has been around for some time, but now the technology exists and is being used. Instead of using a robot of some kind, a surrogate wears an augmented reality headset with your face on an iPad-like screen. So, everyone they meet sees and hears you. Would you use a Human Uber aka ChameleonMask? Would you have any difficulties interacting with a Human Uber over the individual, themselves? What are the benefits or drawbacks to such technology?
