I am very interested in effective remote presence at conferences,
primarily to reduce my completely unsustainable travel emissions
footprint. I agree it's a very hard problem, especially as the
corridor part is just as important as the lecture part IMHO. If anyone
is working on this in a free-software-freindly way I'd love to help in
my CFT.
