Japanese researchers have unveiled an invention which allows a person to attend an event remotely - using a surrogate with a tablet screen strapped to his or her face. The device, nicknamed the "Human Uber", went on show at the MIT Technology Review's EmTech conference in Singapore. Its inventor, Jin Rekimoto, a professor at the University of Tokyo, says it is "surprisingly natural". The 91福利社's Richard Hamilton has been looking at the idea.
