I don't see why you could not, in theory, meet fellow virtual
travelers. I've often thought that any successful virtual vacation
would require that you meet other travelers.

As for tele-presence robots, I think they will be successful when they
are the size of mosquitoes and fly. Imagine seeing your fellow
tele-travelers rendered as avatars in your virtual space as you fly
around the Sistine chapel together... :-) Perhaps avatars with angel
wings... LOL...
