Tele-Embodiment

Tele-embodiment is literally taking a control of a remote body as though it were your own ? or presenting yourself as a body controlled from a remote location. In other words, an avatar in a virtual environment, or a robot in an augmented environment.

By feeding sensory stimulation directly back to the operating user, it becomes their ?physical? embodiment, even if their mind is not physically located there.
