Cisco Telepresence

I joined a proposal pitch to a client from somewhere in Europe which was conducted through Cisco's Telepresence technology....

Man! That is one cool techno stuff! Have you heard of that stuff? Well, it's like common video conferencing technology, but a lot lot cooler. The images of the people you're talking to are fed into a 3-panel 42+inch LCD screen monitor. and you can actually see their whole room! And that room would look exactly just like the room you're in. And the table they're seated to looks exactly just like yours. It would come out like you're just sitting around the same table with them. Totally awesome!

No lag. No delay. Their mouth is in-sync with the words you're hearing. When you plug your laptop into the projector, the same image on your PC is fed to the network and their own projector would show the same image. Amazing!

Totally enjoyed the meeting. No idea what was discussed.. just had a good time with the telepresence thingamajig!
