Abstract
"A taxonomy is proposed to classify all varieties of technologically mediated experience. This includes virtual reality and teleoperation, and also earlier devices such as the microscope and telephone. The model of mediated interaction assumes a sensor-display link from the world to the human, and an action-actuator link going back from the human to the world, with the mediating technology transforming the transmitted experience in some way. The taxonomy is used to classify a number of example systems.

Two taxonomies proposed earlier are compared with the ideas presented in this paper. Then the long-term prospects of this field are speculated on, ignoring constraints of cost, effort, or time to develop. Finally, the ultimate limits of synthetic experience are discussed, which derive from properties of the physical universe and the human neural apparatus."

Quotes
p.231   "Microteleoperation replaces the human-scale anthropomorphic robot of ordinary teleoperation with a microscope and micromanipulator, so as to give the operator the sense of presence and ability to act in the microscopic environment."   Added by: Mark Grimshaw-Aagaard

Discussing Zeltzer's (1992) AIP model, Robinett claims his display type dimension of his synthetic experience taxonomy maps most closely to Zeltzer's presence dimension. This is because presence in this case refers directly to the number of sensory channels available and to the sensory fidelity delivered (cf Slater's (2003) later use of immersion for this form of presence).
