I’ve only seen a single screen telepresence demo before and that was on a noisy exhibition floor. At Polycom’s City Executive Briefing Centre yesterday I was treated the to a full blown demo and boy was it impressive. The quality was astounding.
Attendees at the ITSPA Summer Forum sat on one side of an oval conference table that was mirrored on 4 large screens in front of us. A Polycom representative (sorry didn’t catch his name) did the spiel from the other room located in Slough.
It was as if he was in the same room and he could even hear the side conversations going on on our side of the table.
