ABSTRACT
Telepresence is a matter of degree. Rarely will a Telepresence system provide such
comprehensive and convincing stimuli that the user perceives no differences from actual
presence. But the user may set aside such differences, depending on the application.
Telepresence systems aimed at corporate customers are commercialized by such
companies as Digital Video Enterprises (DVE), BrightCom, Cisco, Telanetix, and Polycom.
Prices range from tens to hundreds of thousand dollars. These systems include multiple
microphones, speakers, high-definition monitors, cameras, and often dedicated networks and
custom-made studios. They strive to be as transparent to users as possible by providing life-size
videos, imperceptible transmission delays, and user-friendly interfaces.
