For implementing an anthropomorphic visual telepresence system with high resolution and low loop latency a sequential color video loop is provided. A sequential color camera sequentially captures color images, each captured image consisting of a portion of a single color component, and provides information as separate color information relating to portions of the sequentially sensed color images. The information is transmitted as separate color information. A sequential color display receives the transmitted information and displays sequentially each color image within the received information. Synchronization means synchronize the sequence and color of corresponding portions of images comprising a single color in said display with the portions of the images sensed by said camera.
