  5. The Bellcore VideoWindow -- A Working Telepresence Experiment (1989) “Imagine sitting in your work place lounge having coffee with some colleagues. Now imagine that you and your colleagues are still in the same room, but are separated by a large sheet of glass that does not interfere with your ability to carry on a clear, two-way conversation. Finally, imagine that you have split the room into two parts and moved one part 50 miles down the road, without impairing the quality of your interaction with your friends.” Source: Fish, Kraut, and Chalfonte-CSCW 1990 Proceedings

  6. A Simulation of Telepresence Using Analog Communications to Prototype the Digital Future • Televisualization: • Telepresence • Remote Interactive Visual Supercomputing • Multi-disciplinary Scientific Visualization “What we really have to do is eliminate distance between individuals who want to interact with other people and with other computers.”― Larry Smarr, Director, NCSA Illinois Boston “We’re using satellite technology…to demo what It might be like to have high-speed fiber-optic links between advanced computers in two different geographic locations.” ― Al Gore, Senator Chair, US Senate Subcommittee on Science, Technology and Space ATT & Sun SIGGRAPH 1989
