The World's First Social Telepresence

Don't worry, I had no idea what it meant at first either. After scrolling through the company's crowdfunding page I begin to piece it together. Omnipresenz, a Barcelona based start up company wants to create a system that will "guide the actions of a real human avatar located anywhere in the world" all while you sit comfortably on your MacBook. Essentially, a camera is mounted to a person, somewhere in the world, and someone else can watch and control that human avatar via the real time video and audio they send you. Users can simply observe a foreign land, or they can control the avatar to a certain degree of their bidding. Good deeds such as buying a stranger some food or getting a dog a treat are available as long as the users vote on it first. With the introduction of cheaper electronics and worldwide connectivity comes new enterprises and experiences. What are your thoughts on avatar services such as this one?
