Being Virtually There With BeamPro

The BeamPro, which Suitable Technologies displayed at CES, allows users to interact from remote locations by coupling high-end video and audio features with a moving machine on wheels.
The product, which contains two cameras and a six-microphone system, has a 17-inch LCD screen for teleconferencing, and lets users be remotely present — whether for conferences or remotely talking to family and friends.

Suitable showed off the Beam's functionality by inviting Edward Snowden to talk remotely. (Snowden is the former National Security Agency subcontractor now living in Russia who made headlines in 2013 when he leaked top secret information about NSA surveillance activities.)

The BeamPro is for $16,000.
