I found myself thinking of those airtight boxes with gloves used in biology labs and that led to

Scissorhands 
Claw (as in Toy Story)

Less frivolous:
Extensor
Pert   (Pharo Extended with Remote Tools. 

pert

1. 
a. High-spirited, lively, or cheerful: A pert receptionist greets each client.
b. Impudently bold; saucy: He was pert to his teacher. She gave a pert answer.
2. 
a. Attractive or stylish in appearance: a pert hat.
b. Small or firm and well-formed: a pert nose.

and hence pert means sexy)

Hi guys

Since we will push the remote tools (videos/web...) I would like to get some ideas for a cool name.
Any ideas?

Because Pharmide (looks like medicine or chemical product).
Since I vaguely remember some german Pharmide made me think about Fern(sehen) but this is not a good name.



For a change, I'm lacking original ideas :P
But of other suggestions, I like...

> Phresnel from Fresnel lenses [1] used in lighthouses to be visible over greater distances
Good googability and a *great* fit for Pharo's lighthouse theme.
There is one competing project https://github.com/lobid/Phresnel
but it looks abandoned and ranks low in searches.

> PharoAfar 
Except its a bit of a tongue twist and I'd shorten it to Pharofar, and maybe Pharophar.
far = at, to, or by a great distance

> Pharoscope from Pharo + Telescope 
Related terms: borescope, oscilloscope, spectroscope.

So far Phresnel is my phavorite.
