I sure hope it doesn't become the way people will work in the future. It's total surveillance, it takes your picture every 10 minutes and records mouse activity and pages you're on (according to Glassdoor reviews).
What employers really should care about is productivity, not these kind of poor proxies for productivity, like the classic butts in chairs.
Why not just take a stab at that directly? Granted it's not easy, but could you really do worse than this?
