That kid has a serious case of Frankenbaby.
My daugther, when she's born. She only need 1-2 hrs max for the hypothermia treatment and then have the cot next to my wife's bed.
Can't see the appeal with this "feature". Somewhat useless imo.
Rather have the baby in the hands of the mother. Screw that virtual stuff and the whole "not allowed to touch the newborn" crap
This is all well and good at first: see your baby on-screen twice a day. But eventually you're still going to have to touch the hideous thing! Again and again. Day after day after day. This is at best a very limited solution to the baby problem.

I'm pretty amazed by some of the ridiculously ignorant comments on this one (and yes, it helps to actually read the content before making comments that make you look like a jackass).
This was exactly the situation we had when my son was born. He was held in the NICU for four days. When he was born in the morning my wife saw him for just a few minutes, then he was taken away for tests then to the NICU. Any baby in the NICU generally isn't allowed to leave other than being taken for tests. My wife had a C section and it took a long time for the epidural to wear off and for her to be able to get out of bed into a wheelchair, much less walk. She didn't end up being able to see our son until late that night, it was horrible for her being stuck in the room with no way to see the baby. I spent the day going to the NICU, taking pictures and shooting video, then bringing it back to my wife's room and showing her on the TV. For us it was thankfully just one day, but even that was torture, and for some families it can be days or even longer.
Having this obviously is no substitute for being able to see and hold your new baby, but this would have been an incredible improvement. I'm glad they have this and wish it was around when we had our son.
Never seen a freshly squeezed out new born have you? In fact, have you ever kissed a girl (William Shatner)...
I've worked in NICU for 5 1/2 years and been with parents in conferences as they were given bad news/difficult decisions to make and I've also provided emotional support and couselling to parents as their babies are/dying or have died-
