System and method for creating virtual presence
A Global Virtual Presence (SGVP) platform integrates communications, robotics and Men Machine Interface (MMI) technologies and provides a unique way of delivering virtual presence experience to a user. The user can control a Robotic Virtual Explorer Devices (RVEDs) and receive a real-time media stream at his virtual terminal. In addition to real-time interactive video feeds, the system provides a pre-recorded video feed gallery of various most unreachable areas of the world, thereby providing a feeling of virtual-like presence to people, who may never see these places due to physical and financial constraints.
