Telepresence in training: Telepresence in training: definitions and systems based on a systematic literature review
Main Article Content
Abstract
Given the polysemic nature of the term telepresence, this article proposes various definitions of the concept and identifies various uses of digital devices in a training context in order to be « present at a distance.» The telepresence devices are listed using a systematic literature review process and are defined as immersive videoconferencing rooms, telepresence robots, virtual reality and holograms. This overview of telepresence helps us to better define the parameters of a concept that allows us to approach training in the digital age often offered online.
