  • Abstract
    Telepointer is a wearable hands-free, headwear-free device that allows the wearer to experience a visual collaborative telepresence, with text, graphics, and a shared cursor, displayed directly on real world objects. It is completely portable and can be used almost anywhere since it does not rely on infrastructure. It is operated through a Reality User Interfaces (RUI) that allows direct interaction with the real world, establishing a kind of computing that is completely free of metaphors.
