Beam is a large robotic device with screens at head height that’s manned by a remote user. The user controls Beam using arrow keys on their keyboard to navigate the device and viewing images on their computer screen. The Beam has two HD cameras located directly above the display, one pointing straight ahead and the other with a slight downward angle, giving the user a full body image.
