The goal of the TeleReporter project is to design a system that allows for complete and open interaction between news providers and the news audience. The audience will, as a group, be able to "direct" the flow of a live news report by offering suggestions and requests on what actions to take, who to talk to, or what questions to ask. The TeleReporter is an extension of the Tele-Actor system, an ongoing research project in telepresence in development at the Media Laboratory and the University of California at Berkeley. The Tele-Actor interface allows remote users to share control of a human "Tele-Actor," sending commands decided by majority vote to the actor and following progress through a live video feed streaming from a camera on the actor's person.
