Cisco TelePresence

TelePresence is a high-end video conferencing tool developed by Cisco Systems. While most video conferencing do not convey facial expressions well, TelePresence uses high-quality video and audio, to create a vivid environment as possible. Images can be broadcast in HD, both 720p and 1080p. Optionally, TelePresence can be setup in with the remote attendees being displayed in true scale (1:1), and, with the screen situated around a meeting room table meeting model, to make it feel as though they are really there. Telepresence includes:

Telepresence is not a proprietary Cisco term, but rather refers to a set of technologies that create the perception of a  person appearing in a location that they are not. At the moment, there are several telepresence on the market from manufacturers including HP with their HP Halo system, and TeleSuite, the originators of the first telepresence system in 1993. The Cisco Telepresence was featured twice in the sixth season of 24 on Fox.

It was seen in Season 6 of 24. The president of somewhere and the U.S. talked to each other on it.

Very expensive, obviously not for the individual or small business. I watched the clips on 24 from the Cisco website and it looks pretty amazing, minus the obvious "Cisco TelePresence" product placement shot when the system powers on. It looks like the future!

It is pretty amazing, I work for Cisco and we use it at the office all the time to save on travel. Acoustics are great, for example, if you're sitting in the meeting and someone coughs you can which direction it came from! No lag, lifelike images and sizing. When you buy the system, you're buying the entire room since everything from the table, chairs and paint all matches so it gives the illusion that both sides are in the same room.
Images are clear and sharp, if you hold up a palm pilot, the other side can read the text on it.
Definitely not meant intended for the individual or small business, though some Cisco executives have it in their homes. Our CEO has one in his home, he uses it to have meetings globally without leaving his house, or wasting time and energy flying around the world. It originally started from an internal initiative to cut $100 million from our travel budget, and we've definitely achieved a postive ROI from it.
