According to Tachi [31], telexistence “refers to the general technology that allows a human being to experience a real-time sensation of being in a place other than his/her actual location and to interact with the remote environment, which maybe real, virtual or a combination of both”. Telexistence is often connected with telepresence [21], which is a very similar concept, but with a narrower scope.
The most significant difference between the two concepts is that telepresence does not include telexistence in virtual environments or telexistence in a real environment through a virtual environment.
