This paper focuses on the problems of networked gestures. The tele-gesture is the achievement of a remote gesture. To reach a good sensory perception of the distant scene, it is necessary to create a specific flow for the haptic data: position, orientations, and feedback forces. This flow presents intrinsically a bi-directional characteristic. Its quality is extremely dependent on the latency of the intermediary telecom network. In this paper we will present the results of our experiments on the telegesture.
