What does it mean to be present somewhere? In this talk, I'll explore this question by looking at telepresence technologies and ways of extending our reach across wide distances, while also critically examining what we mean by "the body" that gets extended. We'll look at what phenomenologists have called "intercorporeality" - the felt experience of being present with other beings like us, and we'll look at how this interacts with our experience of telepresence technologies, including virtual reality, telerobotics, and EEG-type prosthetics.
