Telephonic Arm Wrestling by Norman White + Doug Back

I found this device to be really interesting. The time in which it was created (a long time ago) made me think of how long we have been exploring telepresence. Sure telepresence can be referred to in different forms for example video conferences. But for me personally, when I think of telepresence I think of being in one place and teleporting physically to another place. At least that's what I thought would happen when I was younger if it ever were to happen. I am grateful for technology and being able to Skype and see far away places but I don't know, nothing compares to literally being there, wherever that may be.
