Abstract
Telepresence has become a main focus of research fuelled by the technological advancements in virtual reality hardware. In this paper we approach telepresence as a collection of sensory modalities and identify what the current state of the art allows with respect to user devices, robotic hardware and the mapping from one to the other.
