Talking Heads
Talking Heads selected distilled forms of human interaction (gesture and image) which explored
increasing the feeling of presence in telecommunications without using live video. This early experiment
in remote presence and telecommunications used a camera as well as sensors attached the user. By
projecting the user's image onto a robotic avatar, the avatar's movement was controlled by his physical gestures, which resulted in a novel telecommunication experience.
Foreshadowing:
long-distance robotics
telepresense / telerobotics
NASA Telerobotics Program
