business is being done. With travel
costs on the rise, “Green” initiatives
in the forefront, and technology
ever improving, commercial real
estate firms are adopting the
newest industry trend – video

face-to-face meetings, commercial

Changing the Industry
“Telepresence” is enhancing the video conference industry and
changing the way the world’s largest firms are doing business.
Telepresence, which offers users life-size, panoramic images of
meeting participants, is captured with multiple high-definition
cameras and high-quality audio. Life-size participants appear on a
large, high-definition screen with no delay between audio and visual
transmissions. Voices can be heard simultaneously, spatial audio
technology creates the impression that individual voices originate
from where the speakers are situated on the screen, and multiple
cameras give participants the impression they are looking one another
in the eye.

solutions, contact your local Solutionz representative.
