Project Details
- "Personal Roving Presence (PRoP) is a study in remote presence involving computer graphics, the Internet, and tele-robotics to transparently immerse users into navigable real remote worlds filled with rich spatial sensorium and make such systems accessible from any networked computer in the world."
- "The result is globally accessible tele-embodiment (two-way presence through vision and audio)."
- The demonstration includes several special tele-robots (ground-based surface cruisers, space browsing airborne blimps) and virtual PRoPs inhabiting a simulated world that exhibits realistic physical and dynamic behavior.
