NEW DELHI (PTI): The Indian Air Force has inducted 'Tele-Presence System' to facilitate real-time interaction between two distant sites for holding operational discussions.

Inaugurating the system here, Air Chief Marshal P V Naik stressed on its extensive use for operational and training activities for cutting down the costs and saving time and fatigue, IAF officials said.

The system has been developed under the Air Force Net project of the IAF, which envisages providing real-time connectivity between all its sensors and platforms.

The system uses high definition cameras, spatial audio and calibrated acoustic systems for providing real-life experience, which cannot be achieved by other video conferencing systems.
