Proxgy is a novel initiative launched worldwide amid COVID-19, facilitating users to book a real-world human avatar anytime from serviceable locations, alongside navigation and reality simulation. Proxgy focuses on hailing a Proxgy through the Proxgy user app, which links the user to their Proxgy. It incorporates patent-pending technologies deliver live video and audio stream to users by means of proprietary smart helmet featuring a 360 an attached degree rotatable camera, enabled with multi-directional joystick control.

After the booking is accepted, the user is linked in an instantaneous ride-hailing manner to their Proxgy via two-way audio, one-way video. Live listening and video are made possible via service, which can be done as the user is relaxing at home, with the help of audio commands. 

This works analogously to a video game in a first-person view with a 360-degree camera controlled option. The app includes a responsive joystick controller which allows a human to direct responses in real-time to the audio commands and inputs. The Proxgy’s helmet features live feeds, VR experience and immersion in the virtual exploration of everyday life routines.

“Proxgy started as a dorm room service conceptualized for the elderly and other high risk-prone individuals as a pilot in New Delhi during the coronavirus citywide lockdown, wherein these people who were at a higher risk to coronavirus could stay safe at home while their younger, fitter proxgies navigated the city for them live using an off the shelf WhatsApp video call, helping them with their daily chores.” said Pulkit Ahuja, Founder of Proxgy.

Following an enthusiastic reception in Proxgy’s pilot phase, the expansion has crossed cities and verticals. Now the app is used for major activities such as real state viewing, remote KYC, car servicing, elderly care to everyday errands and B2B/B2C services. 

Upgrades to proprietary patent-pending technologies since the initial used off the shelf video calling solutions with limited customizations have been implemented. 

Proxgy is as of now, in beta and is accepting limited users daily. Users can request early access by visiting www.proxgy.com or downloading the Proxgy android app from Google Playstore and signing up for an exclusive invitation.
