Abstract: |
A system and method of mobile telepresencing includes providing a surrogate capable of viewing outward and of translational movement, displaying the views outward for a user and sensing rotation of a user in a direction of a view outward and a user translation instruction for causing translation of the surrogate in the direction relative to the view outward.
