Telexistence is the concept of overcoming limitations of time and space by presenting a sensation of existence in a virtual sense. Teleimmersion and telexistence connect the space that we live in or that we exist in. It creates the space that we occupy. Technology based on this concept enables users to meet and talk to one another as if they share the same space and time, even if they are far apart from each other. This is the goal of the development of mutual telexistence communication systems, as a natural progression from the telephone to the telexistence-videophone. One of the highlights of this publication is the section on TELESAR (TELExistence Surrogate Anthropomorphic Robot), which is an anthropomorphic robot controlled by a human operator at a remote site with a sensation of presence. The robot is coated with retro-reflective material, so that a person wearing an HMP (Head Mounted Projector) sees the telexisting operator instead of the robot. This book focuses on the present status and future prospects of this emerging technology of teleimmersion and telexistence and reports on recent results. Key research areas that form barriers are identified and new clues to a breakthrough are suggested for the true realization of teleimmersion and telexistence.

Tachi, Susumu was born on January 1, 1946 in Tokyo.
Bachelor in Mathematics Engineering and Information Physics, University Tokyo, 1968. Master of Science in Mathematics Engineering and Information Physics, University Tokyo, 1970. Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics Engineering and Information Physics, University Tokyo, 1973.
He joined the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Tokyo in 1973, and in 1975 moved to the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory, Ministry of International Trade and Industry, Tsukuba Science City, Japan, where he served as the Director of the Biorobotics Division. In 1989 he rejoined the University of Tokyo. His present research covers Telexistence, Real-time Remote Robotics (R-Cubed) and Virtual Reality.
Professor
Tachi is also a founding director of the Robotics Society of Japan (RSJ), a Fellow of the Society of Instrument and Control Engineers (SICE) and is the Founding President of the Virtual Reality Society of Japan (VRSJ). See also his work on cloaking technology.(link to video on YouTube).
