Use of Telepresence and Holographic Projection Mobile Device for College Degree Level

The evolution of technological tools has allowed for the increased quality of telepresence in the classroom. The experience using a telepresence robot and holographic projection is reported in official college level classes taught at the Tec de Monterrey in the period 2013-2015. This combination allows students to “feel” the presence of the professor in the classroom through a human scale holographic image, bi-directional audio and video and autonomous movements of the remotely controlled robot. The individual and combined use of these telepresence devices is reported. The results founds show that we are on the correct path. This work has echoed in the Latin-American community, mainly in Uruguay, Colombia, Argentina and Chile. Our work is shown as a way of disseminating this information and as an invitation for other researchers in the world to collaborate, thereby accumulating experience, formality and scientific rigor.
