Abstract

This work attempts to enhance telepresence by empowering nonverbal communication i.e. head gestures communication with an implementation of a robotic rear-projection head device. The feature of this implementation which is considered to be novel is the containment of all the necessary components for rear-head projection within the volume of a typical human head. This provides a natural look to the rear-projection head and facilitates interaction. The resultant head is capable of accurately projecting human facial features.
