Custom Telepresence

The IVCi Telepresence Experience

Unique applications for Cisco, Polycom, and TANDBERG telepresence systems

A VIRTUAL MEETING EXPERIENCE unlike any other, telepresence has set a new standard for visual communication. Walk into a telepresence room and you will be immersed in a video collaboration so life-like, you may not realize the participants are actually in different cities or continents. An effective alternative to in-person meetings, telepresence reduces the need for costly and time consuming business travel. Many companies use telepresence for executive and high-level management meetings, and for collaboration that includes participants at multiple locations.

Telepresence Your Way

A TELEPRESENCE SYSTEM is usually a turnkey solution that is integrated into a dedicated room. However, sometimes telepresence systems are needed to meet unique meeting requirements. For example, it may be necessary for a telepresence system to accommodate a large number of participants and a wide array of applications, including training sessions, high-impact presentations, and board meetings. The demand for innovative telepresence solutions continues to grow as more users discover its value.

ORGANIZATIONS OF ALL KINDS, from Fortune 500 corporations to legal and financial firms, are discovering the value of telepresence. An ideal solution for real-time, life-like collaboration, the following are some of the innovative ways Cisco/TANDBERG and Polycom telepresence technologies can be modified to meet unique customer applications:

Virtual runway: A clothing manufacturer can use telepresence to view models from head to toe and decide upon any necessary adjustments to the garments worn. Unlike standard telepresence rooms, the cameras and displays in this system are rotated at 90 degree angles so that the entire length of the models can be easily viewed.

Training sessions: One Fortune 500 customer uses telepresence for high-level training sessions between multiple locations. Three large plasma displays, pan-tilt-zoom camera capability, and a flexible audio system are utilized to accommodate a larger number of participants.

War room: A government client prefers to view content on multiple screens for assistance with training and security exercises. To create this custom design, the usual ratio of people to content displayed is reversed, so that more data can be reviewed and analyzed.

Immersive wall: This "virtual water cooler system" allows a company's employees to walk up to telepresence displays and start a conversation with lifesize office workers at remote locations, at any time of the day. Because standard telepresence solutions are fixed settings, this system is customized to create a more unstructured, ad-hoc meeting experience.

Subject matter expert: Ideal for the medical community, this system provides access to specialists and other subject matter experts for patients located in remote communities. Up to four images can be shared at once, providing multiple vantage points for viewing patients and staff in an operating or examination room.

Executive boardroom: Designed with executive meetings in mind, this solution delivers virtual collaboration in high definition. Featuring a 103 inch center plasma and two 65 inch plasmas on either side, executives can view remote participants in life-size so no details of the discussion are missed.

Virtual classroom: Otherwise known as "the classroom of the future," this system provides a fully immersive, virtual educational environment that allows students and teachers in up to three distinct classrooms to interact in real-time.
