BLIMPS AND PROPS
EXPERIMENTS IN PERSONAL TELE-EMBODIMENT
PRoPs are simple, inexpensive,
internet-controlled, untethered
tele-robots that strive to provide the
sensation of tele-embodiment in a
remote real space. Numerous airborne
blimps and ground robots were
developed and deployed across a range
of settings including Ars Electronica,
SIGGRAPH, Exploratorium, etc. These
systems all predate the development
of commercial internet telepresence
robots by more than a decade.
