Now, before you go "uhhhh the hell is telepresence?"
According to Christiane Paul's Digital Art, it means:
telepresence Telepresence (from the Greek tele, meaning 'far off', 'distant') describes the ability to be present in a remote location, for example a chat room on the Internet, through technological means.
Paul also wrote:
Quote:
The concept of telepresence is obviously not only connected to digital technologies but inherent to any form of telecommunication -- communication over a distance...telecommunication art has decades of history...for the creation of projects that involved remote locations.
Also, according to Microsoft Encarta, it means:
1. virtual presence: the virtual presence of somebody whose actions are transmitted by electronic signals to a physically remote site, e.g. in telesurgery
2. presence at remote location: the experience of being present at a physically remote location
