  • Patent number: 8332755
    Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates replicating a telepresence session with a real world physical meeting. A telepresence session can be initiated within a communication framework that includes two or more virtually represented users that communicate therein. A trigger component can monitor the telepresence session in real time to identify a participant interaction with an object, wherein the object is at least one of a real world physical object or a virtually represented object within the telepresence session. A feedback component can implement a force feedback to at least one participant within the telepresence session based upon the identified participant interaction with the object, wherein the force feedback is employed via a device associated with at least one participant.

  • Publication number: 20100306670
    Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates interacting with data associated with a telepresence session. A telepresence session can be initiated within a communication framework that includes two or more virtually represented users that communicate therein. A portion of data can be virtually represented within the telepresence session in which at least one virtually represented user interacts therewith. A detect component can monitor motions related to at least one virtually represented user to identify a gesture, the gesture involves a virtual interaction with the portion of data within the telepresence session. An interaction component can implement a manipulation to the portion of data virtually represented within the telepresence session based upon the identified gesture.
