Avatar presence

Avatar-Presence

Advanced GalNet communication option. A SII Communication service. A GalNet Terminal that is Avatar enabled can project a hardlight representation of a person, in real time to any other Avatar enabled GalNet terminal. The range varies by Terminal model and location. Well developed locations may have very large activity range. For example Pluribus Unum is planet wide Avatar enabled, so are many core worlds. A neuro jack or a Virtu Couch are required to disengage the senses from the real body and connect them to the Avatar Body. Many of the very large or very difficult to accomodate Union member species make extensive use of Avatar Presence, such as Camogi, Bellebee , Bandrupo , Hotzies and others. Eduk the entity is one of the most famous users of the Avatar Presence as he spends virtually every minute at the Assembly. Avatar-Presence are limited as it is very difficult to translate olfactory senses. An Avatar-Presence must be marked as such and legally is the person it represents, meaning crimes or offenses committed by the Avatar-body are committed by the person projecting it.
