Welcome to the premier issue of Telepresence World. If you have seen our preview edition, you are aware of our goal to provide you with up-to-date coverage of the evolution (and revolution) of
telepresence technology, whether it is used in the boardroom, the ball park, the laboratory, or on the surface of Mars.
In this issue, we are pleased to bring you articles that examine topics such as medical telepresence, virtual exploration, and creativity in collaborative worlds, to name a few. Also in this issue is expanded coverage of the Telepresence World 2007 Conference, to be held at the University of San Diego, California, June 4 – 6, 2007.
As we start this “voyage of discovery,” we hope that Telepresence World will become a dialogue with you, our readers, and invite your
comments and ideas regarding this amazing collaborative tool.
