Its singular function is to act as a communicator. The experience of a robot surrogate would by means of the 'interface' be conveyed to the absentee controller. The robot is a relay device. Controlling this device for communications applications would be immersive. A situation of man machine osmosis exists when a condition of the boss and tool is replaced by brain and limb.
Interaction design is replaced by integration.
The system works as a two way communicative device, speedily, reliably and all the time. I suspect that man machine osmosis conditions are experienced all the time, the machine is never off and the person is always connected. Like the brain and the legs. Cyborgs in this instance may not be forms of prostheses. In the instance of communications robots the cyborg would be disconnected from the body, physically, tethered only by the ether.
