Telepresence and Transgenic Art
Telepresence and Transgenic Art is an exploration of issues surrounding, on the one hand, the coupling of telematic networks with robotics and biology, and on the other, the exploration of genetic engineering, as an art medium. The integration between telepresence and genetic engineering is also …

Temporal Telepresence: Immersive Interfaces for TeleAbsence
To store the past in a simulation may enable greater understanding of ourselves, our stories, and our histories. The urge to capture our past into networks of photographic, written, filmed, and object-based narratives has long been a means for individuals to identify change, growth, and gain …

Holosuite : an exploration into interactive holographic telepresence
… display application that combines remote telepresence with interaction in 3D space. We propose some key concepts on leveraging the strengths of holographic display technology as a medium for interactive telepresence. These concepts are implemented in a real-time, end-to-end 3D telepresence …

Membrane I/O: Designing Bits and Atoms for Tangible Telepresence
This thesis proposes a strategy of designing Computer Mediated Tangible Communication (CMTC) over space and time with the consideration of philosophical concepts posed in Phenomenology. Membrane I/O (M.I/O) is created as a conceptual framework for CMTC, which focuses on creating a thin sensor/motor …

Using the mixed-method approach to examine telepresence outside the lab
This study’s main focus is people’s experience of telepresence (or presence for short) —where the roles of technology are misperceived by media users in various ways, such as the illusion of “being there” in a mediated environment. Although over 2000 articles have examined telepresence and nearly …

"""Travelling Without Moving"": A Study on the Reconstruction, Compression, and Rendering of Three-Dimensional Environments for Telepresence"
In this dissertation, we study issues related to free-view 3D-video, and in particular issues of 3D scene reconstruction, compression, and rendering. We present four main contributions. First, we present a novel algorithm which performs surface reconstruction from planar arrays of cameras and …

Narrative message and virtual reality: the impact of telepresence and transportation on consumer learning in the real estate industry
Despite the growing interest of virtual reality (VR) technologies among professionals and academics, little attention has been paid to the role of audio, such as voice introductions and narrations, in the overall VR experience. Also, very few studies have been conducted to investigate the …
