New ELI 7 Things... Brief Explores Telepresence

Created by Peggy Kurkowski (EDUCAUSE) on September 11, 2009

ELI LogoTelepresence refers to the application of complex video technologies to give geographically separated participants a sense of being together in the same location. These systems use high-definition cameras feeding to life-size, HD displays with high-fidelity acoustics that, in many cases, localize sound to image, simulating the effect of each voice coming from the video display for each participant. In sophisticated telepresence rooms, the furniture and displays are arranged in ways that further enhance the simulation—participants sit at a conference table and see high-resolution video of participants in remote locations at similar tables, allowing participants to imagine sharing a single table.

The 7 Things You Should Know About Telepresence, EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative’s (ELI) latest brief in the monthly series, explores how these systems have the potential to open new kinds of shared instruction and provide a legitimate alternative to in-person meetings.
