Avatar technology



A general term describing a facsimile projection or tele presence of a person away from the physical location. [NOTE} Virtu Theaters use Avatar technology to emerge audiences into the story, most commonly used in Avatar Enabled GalNet terminals. Where one person can send his or her simulated presence to any location across the entire Union. Of course Avatars can take other shapes and forms. There are so called Legal Avatars that are the verified true representation of a person used in court proceedings and such. Some proceedings still require the actual presence of course.[1]

A small robotic artigrav enabled sphere able to roam up to 100 meters from a Galnet Console, creates an exact force field form replica and paints the three dimensional picture onto that shell. Mass simulators give the construct substance.[2]

Only SII -GalNet offers this service at the moment

Interacting via Avatar technology means someone taking part in an activity or event without being physically present.

The Union wide available GalNet communications network allows Tele presence via hardlight avatar. (If the receiving terminal is Avatar enabled) This is especially useful for Union members who are physically unable to participate in many Union activities. Such as the Hotzies, Bellebees , Camogi , Bandrupo and many others. The Avatar representationbs of these beings can be size adjusted and Standard com enabled. Thus making it possible for these beings to study, travel, sight see and also teach and take part in recreation, culture and art events.

Of course Avatar tech is available for everyone, but it is free of charge to those species that have no other technical solutions available to them.

In the case of the Hotzies, almost everyone is connected to GalNet, all the time.

Also Camogi clusters spend their time connected to GalNet all the time.

The Avatar Technology is offered by SII GalNet and is free of Charge for any species classified:

BaPhy VL, BaPhy XXL, BaPhy H, BaPhy X or BaPhy NTS

Individuals of these species also receive free GalNet Equipment, such as Avatar enabled GalNet terminals and connection equipment.

[NOTE] Union technology differentiates between Holographic presence, tele presence and Avatar presence.

Tele presence means a person or agroup of persons are connected via two way telecommunication with a visual and audio component. Holographs are insubstantial projections unable to interact with the environment. Avaars are hard light constructs able to physically interact.

[2] Schools, Universities, Science and Art Institutes, many public parks, tourist attractions have much greater range and capacities. Of course the Assembly and all of the Assembly grounds are Avatar enabled.

There are many hundred thoussand Avatars present at the Assembly at any given time. Large Universities have many thousand stiudents and teaching staff attending via Avatar.
