Abstract(in English) For telepresence, conveying the exact situation of distant place has been regarded as important. However, telepresence has the advantage of being able to transmit information after making a modification. Using this advantage, we examined the way of a remote communication superior to a face-to-face communication. We focused on touch in communication. Though touch has various effects, such as triggering the altruistic behavior, rasing the acceptance rate and reducing stress, it is known that we cannot draw the effect of touch because the touch carried out between males is easy to be felt unpleasantly. Based on this problem, we proposed and inspected the method of drawing the effect of touch between males by using telepresence.
