TP =  TELEPRESENCE = 
allow a person <b>to feel as if they were present, to give the appearance that they were present,</b> or to have an effect, via <a title="Telerobotics" href="/wiki/Telerobotics">telerobotics</a>, <b>at a place other than their true location.</b>

A minimum system usually includes visual <a title="Feedback" href="/wiki/Feedback">feedback</a>. Ideally, the entire <a title="Field of view" href="/wiki/Field_of_view">field of view</a> of the user is filled with a view of the remote location, and the viewpoint corresponds to the movement and orientation of the user's head.
 
most of this article is about teleconferencing, which is practically important but
irrelevant to epistemology and consciousness.

the <b>only world you know</b>.
 
Transparency of implementation:  
These cues include <b>life–size participants, fluid motion, accurate flesh tones and the appearance of true eye conta</b>ct
