Larry Smarr on the past and future of telepresence – Institute For The Future
At tonight's Technology Horizons conference, Larry Smarr gave a terrific talk on the history and future of telepresence-- i.e., systems that "eliminate distance between individuals who want to interact with other people and with other computers." I'm a bit fuzzy-- it was a long day, and tomorrow will be even longer-- but a few notes.
