TELEPRESENCE

Telepresence is a form of video conferencing. The difference is that a telepresence system is carefully configured so that everyone taking part in a conference feels like they are actually “present” in the same room with the other participants.

By carefully controlling factors like room layout, furnishings, and lighting, and including technologies like high definition cameras and high-quality audio, all participants – wherever they are in the world – feel like they are together in the same location carrying on a conversation.

Body language is a key factor in successful communication. With telepresence, everyone can read the body language and physical nuances of other participants. The sense that everyone is in the same room enhances group rapport and accelerates the overall outcome of any discussion. You get things done faster and better while saving time, money, and resources.

To accomplish all this, telepresence technology utilizes:

• High definition cameras and displays for realistic images
• The larger-scale displays that present life-size images of all participants
• Design aesthetics and furnishings that are mirrored in each location
• Room layout and camera positioning that results in life-like visuals
• High quality, naturalistic lighting that creates a real-life look and feel
• Quality audio and noise management that generates acoustic realism
• Advanced network connectivity and bandwidth
