Here is what people in the know are saying….
“A landmark personal conferencing product and a visual experience
in a class of its own…”
“Web cameras, executive videophones, and common and pricey
videoconferencing systems are put to shame in its presence…or better
said tele-presence”
“The promise of the information super highway has become
dull….The ETS has re-sparked that promise and the most exciting
thing is, it is being deployed by smart companies around the globe.”
“The possibilities to impact businesses and even society
are endless….The marriage of HDTV videoconferencing and true telepresence
is sheer brilliance.”
“The right place at the right time….Broadband to homes,
exponential growth in telecommuting, HDTV two-way video at 1 meg, and
an ingenious display system by DVE that rids the awkward feeling of old
time videoconferencing….All we can say is WOW!”
Many years ago DVE was instrumental in the design and installation of the
world’s first HDTV videoconferencing system. The experience
of true HDTV, perfect eye contact made possible by a optically embedded
camera in the image, and life size people sitting on the other side of the
table (though they were 3000 miles away) was an event to experience. The
experience was amazingly natural and many leaps beyond traditional videoconferencing. DVE
started referring to the experience as “Telepresence.” Since
then DVE has deployed similar systems for numerous corporations and Hollywood
Studios, yet the cost for the specialty codecs and the cost for bandwidth
(5-15 Mb) greatly limited the potential market. DVE has brought
the same experience together today in the Executive Telepresence System
which has the same quality, but in the price range of common videoconferencing
systems and it requires only a T1 connection. Simply stated…Telepresence
has come of age.
