For the record, BBC, living "as a robot" and "through a robot" are completely different things to me. I was imagining the 116th episode of South Park had come true.

Admittedly, it would have been way cooler if they had gotten Oculus to chip in a Rift prototype as well.

Same independent conclusion here. Poor titles...

By that metric, I am 'living as a computer' right now.

More like "living in an HN comment thread" or maybe "living on the internet". But if you did that, and only that, for two months straight, while confined to a small room you were unable to leave, then yeah, kinda.

We can condense that all really. We're all living as a series of tubes (biologically and metaphorically applicable).

That's a pretty cool use case, unlike some of the suggested ones, like going to a museum. I'm pretty sure a website with images would beat that in pretty much all cases.

I am AWESOM-O.

Oh, this HN post again.

Is the Anybot video stereoscopic? If so, is it usable with the Oculus Rift?

Awesom-o!
