teleporter

Sci-fi travel device

A teleporter is a device or being that transports matter instantaneously from one location to another, bypassing the space between.

The concept belongs to science fiction: The crew stepped onto the teleporter pad.

In video games, teleporters are often portals or mechanisms that move players between areas.

Someone who teleports—whether by technology or supernatural ability—may also be called a teleporter.
