Abstract

Telepresence, experiencing a place without physically being there, offers an important means for the public experience of remote locations such as distant continents or other planets. EventScope presents one such telepresence visualization interface for bringing scientific missions to the public. Currently, remote experience lessons based on NASA's Mars Exploration Rover missions are being made available through the EventScope framework to museums, classrooms, and the public at large.
