A presence system allows a human operator to be present in a different environment by commanding a teleoperator through a human system interface. The quality of the experience is increased by reflecting multimodal information of the target environment. This thesis deals with visual-haptic presence systems. Firstly, a new method is proposed to evaluate the experience of presence within technology-mediated environments. Secondly, explorative studies are presented and a process model is proposed for visual-haptic perception of compliance. Thirdly, lossy compression methods are proposed to passively reduce force and velocity data.
