Abstract/Summary
The Polyver Project is an idea born from the curiosity of a few students who wondered what the interaction between a physical person and a rover as the host of random internet users would look like. It is also an experiment to enhance the exploration of real world sites in real time while also having the power of interaction.
The goal of the Polyver Project is to build the foundation for a system that can serve as the interface between the internet and a fleet of rovers. Each rover is equipped with at least a camera, microphone, and a speaker that can enable it to be used to interact with people and tour the area it was deployed in. The project serves as both a unique social interaction tool and an interesting experiment where distances become irrelevant and anyone in the world with a decent internet connection can have the opportunity to experience an area without being anywhere near it.
