	Telepresence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Telepresence a human/machine system in which the human uses of (head-mounted) displays and body-operated remote actuators and sensors to control distant machinery.
		Telepresence systems could be incorporated into theme or nature parks to allow observers to travel through coral reefs, explore underground caves, or in amusement parks the elderly or infirm could experience the thrill of live roller coaster rides without the associated risks.
		Telepresence and AI Marvin Minsky was one of the pioneers of intelligence-based mechanical robotics and telepresence.

	TELEPRESENCE VIA TELEVISION: by Kim and Biocca
		While the study of telepresence can be pursued as end in itself, most researchers believe that the experience of telepresence should be correlated with or may be a causal factor of human information processing performance [(Biocca, 1997)].
		Telepresence, defined as the feeling of being a part of the phenomenal environment created by a medium, implies that the user of the medium considers the items in the mediated environment as unmediated and reacts directly to the items as if they are physically present objects.
		Because telepresence is a concept that is beyond the dimension of sensory modality, the effects of telepresence on memory are not limited by the sensory modalities through which the information is delivered.

	TELEPRESENCE ART
		Telepresence is being pursued by scientists as a pragmatic and operational medium that aims at equating robotic and human experience.
		In telepresence links, images and sounds are transmitted but there are no "senders" attempting to convey particular meanings to "receivers." Telepresence is an individualized bidirectional experience, and as such it differs both from the dialogic experience of telephony and the unidirectional reception of television messages.
		The communication event created by telepresence art undoes the polarizing categories of "transmitter" and "receiver" and restores, in an unprecedented reversal, the primary sense of the word tele-vision, empowering the participant with the ability to decide what and when he or she wants to see.

	telepresence - a definition from Whatis.com
		Telepresence is a sophisticated form of robotic remote control in which a human operator has a sense of being on location so that the experience resembles virtual reality (VR).
		Telepresence has been suggested as a method of performing surgery by remote control, and as a method of performing nanoscale operations by scaling down the telechir by a factor of thousands or millions.
		One serious problem with long-distance telepresence is the fact that data and control signals cannot travel faster than the speed of light in free space.

	SRI International Medical Product Development
		Before developing telepresence surgery technology, SRI and its team, of medical experts examined tools and techniques used in conventional MIS and found that the long, fulcrumed instruments of laproscope surgery, coupled with video monitors, dramatically limit the skills of the surgeon.
		Grasping the telepresence tool handles at the console, physicians use familiar surgical techniques as they operate via special laproscopic telemanipulators that are mounted on the surgical table.
		Telepresence technology will also bring great benefit to the field of microsurgery, where it will enhance surgeons' skills by dramatically improving their precision and dexterity in delicate and complex procedures.

	Broadcast Telepresence
		We show where broadcast telepresence falls in the range of telepresence applications, what content could be broadcast, and the steps required to go from capture of data to final display to the end user.
		As telepresence is not well defined right now, we begin by providing a method of categorizing the various types of telepresence, and use that scheme to define the key features of broadcast telepresence.
		Many uses of "telepresence" consider a much stricter definition-- telepresence means the ability to feel present at a remote location through total immersion in that environment, usually with stereo ear and eye phones, or augmented reality techniques.

	INTERFACE - theories [analysis of reality interface]
		The presentation was titled "Telepresence and Digital/Physical Body : gaining a perspective", and was given to a group of university fine-art students at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada.
		Telepresence is, in fact, a by-product of the technological age that is happening around us.
		Although the concept of telepresence is not new -- perhaps as old as the invention of transportable written language -- I will focus on the digital extension of this field, an area which introduces some new issues related to theory of reality, the self, communication, and virtual existence.

	Robonaut - Telepresence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Telepresence requires that a human operator control the actions of a remotely operated robot.
		The goal of telepresence control is to provide an intuitive, unobtrusive, accurate and low-cost method for tracking operator motions and communicating them to the robotic system.
		Telepresence uses virtual reality display technology to visually immerse the operator in the robot's workspace.

	The Presence Project: TELEPRESENCE
		Telepresence is 'the ability to act on the perceived environment from a distance, not only perceive it.
		Telepresence researchers (...) are exploring sophisticated VR-like arrangements to orchestrate a person's perception of a distance space (e.g., head-movement-controlled diplays), and the execution of acts in a distant place by moving their local body (e.g., local hand-movements being translated into equivalent motions of the distant robotic hand).' (Wilson, 2002: 527)
		Telepresence is particularly useful in medicine (telesurgery), education and in hazardous military, subacqueous and aereonautic operations.

	ACM SIGMM 2003 Workshop on Experiential Telepresence
		Telepresence represents one of the most exciting and challenging areas of technology at the intersection of computing and communications.
		However, most telepresence systems including video conferencing systems have been dealing with transmitting multimodal data rather than creating effective means of experiencing remote environments and events.
		So a significant challenge in telepresence is to assimilate data from different sources to model the experience that has to be transmitted.

	ACM SIGMM 2004 Workshop on Effective Telepresence
		However, most telepresence systems have been dealing with transmitting multimodal data rather than creating effective means of interacting with remote people and experiencing remote environments and events.
		The most commonly cited problems with such systems are that they are too difficult to setup and use, and that their value is not commensurate with cost.
		However, continued advances in multimodal sensing, multimodal display, networking, and semiconductor technologies suggest that there is rich potential for telepresence systems that dramatically transform how we communicate with people and experience remote environments and events.

	Telepresence Art on the Internet
		This noun was chosen early on as the telerobot's name because of the unique nature of the platypus, which is popularly thought as a "hybrid" of bird and mammal.
		Viewers and participants were invited to experience together, in the same body, an invented remote space from a perspective other than their own, temporarily lifting the ground of identity, geographic location, and physical presence.
		Telepresence art makes it clear that action at a distance must be incorporated into the repertoire of elements explored by artists via networks (digital, analog, or a hybrid of both).

	Telepresence Notes and References
		This ability to "feel" like you are someplace other than your physical location is known as "telepresence." There are a wide range of ways to be telepresent, and different places to which one would want to be present.
		The main target is broadcast telepresence-- that is to say some sort of remote location which is captured and broadcast to "viewers" who then feel as if they were present at the broadcast location.
		How the user is "telepresent" can vary from a text transcription of an occuring event, to a video camera, to a complete 3-d model of the remote scene being broadcast.

	Telepresence definitions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		"The fundamental purpose of a telepresence system is to extend an operator's sensory-motor facilities and problem solving abilities to a remote environment.
		The end results of both telepresence and virtual reality are essentially the same, a human-computer interface which allows a user to take advantage of natural human abilities when interacting with an environment other than the direct surroundings.
		A more restrictive definition of telepresence requires further that the teleoperator's dexterity match that of the bare-handed operator.

	Sensing Beds
		As an experiment in telepresence, they bridge the physical distance between two people who would normally share a bed, but find themselves sleeping apart.
		Sensors located in one mattress pad track the position of its occupant and transmit that data to the other bed where the position data is used to activate heating pads at the same coordinates.
		Telepresence in long distance relationships is an ever-fruitful source of inspiration for networked projects.

	Telepresence - Advancing The Future
		Rather than starting with the "workstation" as the focus of our implementation, we chose to employ sociologists and psychologists to first study the users in their environment, and analyze the nature of the work and the social interactions that were central to the culture of the organization.
		Among others, Telepresence Systems, a spin-off company from the Ontario Telepresence Project, will seek to uncover new tools to facilitate background communication among users providing them with all-important contextual information for their business transactions.
		Viewed in the context of seamlessly moving from quadrant to quadrant, what we have is a means of capturing the notion of "bandwidth on demand." Furthermore, the model which emerges from this approach is in may ways richer that those commonly used, such as video on demand.

	Open SETI: Telepresence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Readers are no doubt familiar with the nascent technology of telepresence that extends the reach of human perception to arbitrarily remote locations through the use of sensing devices at the target site, communication links, and transducers coupled to the human user's own sense organs or nervous system.
		The model of remote experiencing through telepresence technology is echoed in one of the protocols used in remote viewing, dubbed "outbound remote viewing" at SRI (Schnabel, 1997), in which an "outbound" experimenter would go to some target site, and the viewer would try to describe the outbound experimenter's environment, as though through that person's eyes.
		The concept of telepresence is also closely connected with teleportation, a subject recently reviewed by Eric Davis (2004) in a report to the Air Force Research Laboratory.

	Performance in Telepresence
		This communication, mainly in telepresence, though slow and obscure, is the possibility of meeting the other who is not physically present; it is the possibility of meeting and communicating – not necessarily rejection of reality.
		Telepresence is of the same order: poison and medicine; however, it allows communication in actual time; it comes close to a dialogue, which Socrates praises: live word, place of interlocution, Doguet would say.
		Since the advent of video, many were the artists who worked with video-performance, notably, Vito Acconci, who used this technology to make the first performances in telepresence: the video-camera and the artist in a place, and the public in front of a monitor in another place.
