Abstract :
In order to enhance operator performance and understanding within remote environments, most research and development of telepresence systems has been directed towards improving the fidelity of the link between operator and environment. Although higher fidelity interfaces are important to the advancement of a telepresence system, the beneficial effects of corrupting the link between operator and remote environment by introducing abstract perceptual information into the interface called virtual fixtures are described
