Blockchain Project to Give Users 'Telepresence' Anywhere Via Live Streams They Can Control

The project says Avatars would enable a businessman to be "Telepresent" at a meeting on another continent, while students could attend lectures at their universities remotely.

UbiatarPlay hopes the technology will reduce unemployment rates around the world, with rules enforced to ensure Avatars are not mistreated or requested to do something illegal.

Avatar community is "Already growing"UbiatarPlay uses patented technology, apps and software from Ubiatar Inc, a company which is based in Silicon Valley.

Users would be able to find Avatars on the UbiatarPlay platform or through online advertising.

To give users a 360-degree video stream, Avatars would need to connect an inexpensive camera to their smartphone.

"Long work" has gone into creating a system where Avatars can easily understand what their customer is asking of them, with iconic commands that make the process "Quick, effortless and precise." In time, UbiatarPlay wants to launch a virtual reality headset so users can enjoy an immersive experience when they are exploring a remote location.

The company says its platform will only accept payments in Ubiatar coins - making transactions inclusive as well as "Decentralized, secure and affordable." Avatars would be able to spend their earnings through prepaid cards which are accepted anywhere Visa and MasterCard can be used.

UbiatarPlay says Avatars who store UAC in their wallet will have their profiles displayed more prominently in search results and could save money on transaction fees when using their prepaid cards.

The end of the year will see the start-up invest in a "Powerful" advertising campaign where at least 1,000 Avatars broadcast live from the streets, creating "The world's largest TV network of real-time, live video streams."

In 2020, the company is going to launch what it calls the Million Avatars Initiative, with UbiatarPlay hoping that its service will become as ubiquitous and widespread as other sharing economy players such as Uber and Airbnb.
