Personal video conferencing is now a common occurrence in long distance interpersonal relationships. Telepresence robots additionally provide mobility to video conferencing, and people can converse without being restricted to a single vantage point. The metrics to explicitly quantify person to person interaction through a telepresence robot do not yet exist. In this paper, we discuss technical requirements needed to support such a communication. We also look at the fields of human-computer interaction (HCI), computer supported cooperative work (CSCW), communications, and psychology for quantitative and qualitative performance measures which are independent of interpersonal relationships and communication task.
