Abstract
Described are systems and methods for helping a participant, who is represented in a remote space by a remote device, to understand the physical state of the remote device in the remote space. This is done through physical and virtual changes in their local space that reflect their own remote physical representation. For example, if their action in the local space causes the remote telepresence robot to rotate 90 degrees, their local display through which the control the robot might rotate 9 degrees. The described methods will help participants have a greater sense of presence in a remote space.
