1. A method for controlling an apparatus in an environment from a remote location, comprising:

  • receiving, from an apparatus located at said remote location, data indicative of one or more actual states of said apparatus, with a non-zero latency;

    estimating a time T, wherein T represents the current time plus an estimated latency representing the time for a control signal to be received and acted upon by said apparatus;

    sending a control signal to said apparatus at said remote location;

    predicting a state of said apparatus at time T, based on one or more previous actual or predicted states of said apparatus and said control signal; and

    creating and displaying a plurality of virtualized views from a viewpoint, said virtualized views showing a series of interim predicted states representing a real-time transition of said apparatus from said one or more previous actual or predicted states to said predicted state.
