Larry Smarr - Supercomputing and the Human Brain
20 minutes in they are still thinking of Video fixed to a wall. Why are they not thinking immersive telepresense?

STORM Racing Drone with First Person View experience.
This is telepresence! One small step, move to IP based video instead of Analog, and you can do this across the globe.
First Person View is telepresence

Storm and Helipal proudly present Storm Racing Drone Type-A Ready to Fly Edition
For a long time we wish to fly a drone with a video system, just like flying it in the cockpit as First Person View experience. Now Storm has made something specially for this purpose called the Storm Racing Drone, actually it's a very small drone (250 class) with a smooth FPV system onboard, and tuned to have faster respond than other aerial filming drones, we flew the drone and we totally addicted to it! The idea worked so well, by looking at the monitor we guide the drone thru a forest without crashing, then we flew faster and faster, it's not like playing video games, it requires skills and needless to say, it's lot more exciting, put more of these in the field and you and your friends is like doing Podracing, just like the Sci-Fi movie.

1951 - Stereo-Television in Remote Control
Even in 1951, a SMPTE article begins, “The study of the possibilities of
using three-dimensional television in conjunction with remotely
controlled electric manipulators is part of a long-range development
program” (Johnston, Hermanson & Hull 75)
Johnston, H.R., Hermanson, C.A., and Hull, H.L. “Stereo-Television in Remote Control.” SMPTE Motion Imaging Journal 56.1 (1951): 75-76.
