Teleportation
Teleportation is the transmission of a life-size image
of a person to appear within a room at a distant location where the person
has a telepresence for engaging in natural face to face communication with
people at the distant location. The image of the person appears within a
3D environment, can make eye to eye contact with individuals and can hold
true two-way conversations. This is a unique system invented by a
privately held Richardson based firm by the name Teleportec Inc. They are
mainly operating in USA and UK.
Teleportation systems are better than
videoconferencing. Videoconferencing has never presented itself as a
realistic alternative to face-to-face meetings because of its severe
limitations - only one person can speak at any one time creating an
amplified feeling of distance between participants. With videoconferencing
people feel uncomfortable by being on camera and feel disconnected from
the people shown on the screen. Teleprtation gives a sense of presence by
achieving eye-to-eye contact with a distant person who is teleported into
the room
