Telepresence is enabling human interaction at a distance, creating
a sense of being present at a remote location. In the next
millennium we are certain to be increasingly `telepresent' both at
work and at play, with an expanding market for telepresence
services. As we move from a physical to an information economy,
demand will grow for services which transport bits not atoms and
which support the output of the human mind. Moreover, technology
continues to advance at an unprecedented rate, and it could be
suggested that we are reaching key breakpoints in client processing
power and global network interconnectivity. In practice,
telepresence systems utilise a very wide range of technologies. In
compiling this book the editors have included chapters from across
these technologies which they have broadly classified as audio,
data, video and virtual environments. Telepresence gives a flavour
of the exciting developments in telepresence and teleconferencing
technologies being researched and developed within BT. Just as the
telephone began changing the world a century ago, so will
telepresence one day alter the way we live, think, do business and
react to the world around us. The potential for these technologies
is staggering, the implications mind-boggling. Building on a strong
base of established audiovisual conferencing and interactive
multimedia services, BT and MCI are leading the way in defining the
commercial applications of telepresence that will shape the future
of global telecommunication. Telepresence is a snapshot of these
groundbreaking activities and conveys the complexity, uncertainty
and enthusiasm involved in this challenging and exciting work. It
is essential reading for all researchers, engineers and managers
working in this stimulating field.
