telepresence
A collection of telepresence robots
This collection of artifacts will help me to begin my “State Of The Art” of telepresence artifacts. I received it from my friend and former colleague at Bell Labs: Fabrice Poussière, thank you!
Memo: I will also have to make a SOTA of fictional/diegetic/futuristic prototypes in that field.
Predominance of touch in telepresence
Inspiring example of a user (a kid) facing a telepresence device and behaving as if in real life (kids never lie, as we say). The contrast between the dad’s mic volume + giant full screen + low resolution VS the wife’s low mic volume + TV set make-up and video frame remind me of this old experiment of mine: http://www.flickr.com/photos/maxmollon/6165767328/in/set-72157627587336685
