Telepresence can be used to provide access to lab and other scientific equipment in other locations. This can increase accessibility to equipment and provide cost savings by increasing user economies of scale. One example is online access to observatories. For example, the Observing With NASA site will allow you to take your own astronomical photos.
An example of telepresence in the lab is Labsland, an educational tool to conduct lab experiments remotely on real equipment.
