About DVE
Digital Video Enterprises is the world’s leader in Real Telepresence conferencing. Traditional videoconferencing has been proven to be a poor communication medium, because of the unnatural and awkward experience it provides. DVE’s patented technologies have transformed the mediocrity of common videoconferencing into an experience that truly simulates being there in person. This is achieved, in part, by optically concealed cameras behind the images on the display screens. Coupled with next generation hardware and software that provide true DVD and HDTV quality images, the experience finally fulfills the promise of quality videoconferencing. The overall experience is defined by DVE as “Real Telepresence” and represents an entire new medium for human communication over a distance. DVE’s technologies have been deployed around the globe by leaders in the entertainment industry, financial sector, healthcare, K-12, higher education, and major corporations.
