Imagine meeting your colleagues in San Francisco, London, Mexico City and Osaka without traveling to any of these locations. You don't have to imagine it, it's here. Telepresence brings people in remote locations together with a life-size, full motion cinematic view along with extraordinary StereoSurround^TM audio with high resolution content. This experience can be tailored for two people up to large classrooms giving the appearance that everyone is working together in the same room. Users can collaborate on spreadsheets and other documents seamlessly which not only saves time, but also travel budgets.
