Cisco TelePresence

[beaman220]

Man I can't wait for the 3D version in a couple years.

[eduvaccaro]

As it uses a compression algorithm at full movement (e.g. people moving at the three displays) it uses about 15 Mbps (over MPLS protocol)

man, i want one of those in my room

but way~~ too expensive

[taylorlt01]

it said on the end credits that it was filmed in san jose, and its well cool, i was in the telepresence room at san jose like 2 week ago, and it was one of the new telepresence machines... it was amazing...

I was at an EBC at EMC in the San Jose area. They have one of these setups. It looks exactly like that room he was in. The cool part was, when we walked in the room the system was already on so the guy on the other side was already there, sitting down by himself. Just looking at the chairs on both sides of him, and the door with people walking by outside, then watching him talk and fiddle with the dry markers, after the amazement wore off, it really felt like he was there with us.

wow that is incredible!!!!!!

[eduvaccaro]

I work in Accenture Argentina and today we tested with the TP room in Chicago and is incredible. In a few minutes you forget that you are 10.000 miles away. The quality of the 1080p video screens is excellent.

But I wonder how much bandwidth it uses? I have Verizon Fios and I dont even think my 20 megabit connection can handle that much data.

[beaman220]

Just wait untill the 100GB network is rolled out. Then I bet Verizon will knock its speeds up. Comcast better get on it because fiber is the future, and your set. I only have a normal cable drop to my house. Thats limited up to 145Mbps. Fiber is ∞.

[eduvaccaro]

15 Mbps with movement in the three screens (due to compression)

[kadin27]

3-5 M for any one monitor. Amazing...

[billtownsend]

Fabulous technology. Light years ahead of the old Proxicom video conferencing systems. I can't wait to be able to utilize this in my companies.

[watchyourst3p]

i thought i was gonna see holograms of people but instead I see people sitting in front of a regular camera.

what a crap!

[Jesslvsdance04]

my dad works at Cisco and he says they use the telepresence for alot of meetings when its pointless to fly all the way out for meetings if its just for one day or somethig hes says it looks like they are actually in the room with you

[suezannec]

There should be millions of Telepresence setups in operation continuously, connecting the world's people in a visceral way. Ponder how many of these and similar devices could be built for a tenth of the world's so-called "defense" budget, and how much better of we'd be to spend that money on connecting the world's people in this emotionally powerful way rather than trying so hard to frighten and threaten and attack each other.

[diablo666lisme]

As a Cisco Employee, I can tell you that the gear itself, on entry level is $300,000 USD - which may sound like a lot, untill you realize the time and money saved in traveling for meetings...

[rwestyt]

Wonder what the cost is of implementation

[jaysonkidd2003]

omg... @ 2:15 minutes... he said " S H I T " word.

[dioncat]
