Abstract
A high resolution image and at least two low resolution images are combined to produce a single image, partially high resolution, partially low resolution on a display. The high resolution image at least partially overlaps at least one of the low resolution images. This method of displaying images is referred to as foveal video. In another aspect of the invention, in a robotic telepresence system, a user station displays information received from a robot using foveal video.

25. A robotic telepresence system, comprising:
-
a user station at a first geographic location, the user station being responsive to a user, communicating information to the user, and communicating information from the user, the user station including;
a processor, a display device coupled to the processor, and a memory; and
a robot at a second geographic location, responsive to the user station, the robot providing a three dimensional representation of the user transmitted from the user station, the robot for sensing predetermined types of information and communicating that information back to the user, the robot including;
at least one first sensor to sense information at a first predetermined high resolution level, and at least one second sensor to sense information at a predetermined low resolution level, wherein the robot transmits the sensed information from the at least one first sensor and from the at least one second sensor to the user station, wherein the memory of the user station stores instructions that cause the processor to;
display on the display device a high resolution image and at least two low resolution images combined to produce a single image, partially high resolution, partially low resolution, the high resolution image at least partially overlapping at least one of the low resolution images on the display, the high resolution image being sensed by the at least one first sensor of the robot, the low resolution images being sensed by the at least one second sensor of the robot.
