Thanks George for your comment on Telepresence! Here are a few links from a quick search on telepresence. I think telepresence for medical uses will eventually become a big "bandwidth hog." TELEPRESENCE AND VIRTUAL REALITY jpl.nasa.gov Sony's Telepresence Robot wondertechlab.sony.com Telepresence Research Group cs.unc.edu ORNL's telepresence connects researcher with remote microscope ornl.gov "Collaboratories would make expensive facilities like the electron microscopes in HTML much more usable and much more productive," Oliver said. "Our massively parallel computers run 24 hours a day. We would like for the tools in the user facilities to be that busy, too. That's why we have this laboratory-directed R&D project for remote operation software development. By making it possible for a researcher located far away to use some of these tools remotely, we can greatly enhance their practicality and affordability and possibly have these working around the clock, too. It's more bang for the buck." Oliver went on to say that even a nuclear research facility like ORNL's High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) could be operated in this way. Users who come to HFIR must undergo fairly rigorous safety training. If they could operate a neutron scattering beam line remotely, with HFIR technicians supporting, "everything would be more efficient," he said. "ORNL's many user facilities, its multidisciplinary strengths and its collaborations make it unique," Oliver said. "The ability to operate in a collaboratory setting, especially in an era of restricted funding, opens our doors wider and makes the laboratory much more affordable and accessible for scientists and educators on the outside."
