Video conferencing goes 3D with DVE Telepresence Stage

DVE_Telepresence_Stage.jpg

Telecommuting. It's the green way to go to work. We're doing it right now — how virtuous is that? But there are other situations that involve travel-related resource consumption that really shouldn't have to, for example when universities fly in distinguished speakers or an industry gathers together for an awards show. In those cases it may make sense to forgo the webcam and invest instead in on a way to make the audience really feel like the speaker's in the room.

That's the point of the DVE Telepresence Stage, a setup that lets you project a guest, professor or CEO in 3D in front of an audience. It's a dual projector system where the result resembles a Star Wars-style Princess Leia hologram, with the added advantage that the speaker can move freely around the "stage area."

Even if it's not 100% realistic, it's sure to impress. And if you don't want to splurge on a whole Stage system, DVE also makes a Telepresence Podium, for when you only really want to see half of your speaker's body anyway. The systems aren't cheap, but then again, neither are first class plane tickets.

Initially the concept of video conferencing was new to me but due to the change in technologies I felt that work and the performance of business can be effectively be increased positively due to the investment I made in more than one telepresence room. However, many telepresence solutions are now standards based, so they are compatible with other desktop.

The idea which I got from a conference room environment that delivered an experience which is so true to life an executive could use the solution instead of spending time and money traveling to meetings. The investment which I made on time the returns of the company justify the expense. The profits margin has increased tremendously.

The first time when I used the video conferencing I was really nervous about how do I look or how do I speak through the equipment, but it was a great feeling.

Hi, interesting post! I’m a student of computer sciences and also work as a part-time employee at a store that deals in sales and rental of video conferencing equipment and setups. I’ll be looking forward for your updates.
