Teleportation in fiction

[1] It is a common subject in science fiction and fantasy literature, film, video games, and television.

The use of matter transmitters in science fiction originated at least as early as the 19th century.

Jane's protagonist is transported from a strange-machinery-containing gazebo on Earth to planet Venus.

In video games, the instant teleportation of a player character may be referred to as a warp.

Such warp mechanics can be incorporated into the world as science-fiction or fantasy elements, or might function as a timeskip during relatively uninteresting travel time.
