Precedent - Telematic Dreaming

http://www.hgb-leipzig.de/~sermon/dream/
This is a sleep installation that Szilard showed me called "Telematic Dreaming" by Paul Sermon.  The gist of the experience is that there are two separate rooms in which two people are - one room is capturing movements of the person and projecting it to the other room and then projecting back into the first room.  This way the users can see each other and interact remotely on the surface of the bed like a dream.  I like this piece of work and the idea of remotely sending an image of a person - the technology is also quite far along for 1992, but technology's capabilities has come a long way since then - there could definitely be a more creative way to do this projection and experience - but it is definitely a good inspiring precedent.
