I have a few friends who have to constantly fly around the globe for work related matters. Initially, I admire their chance of traveling as some of those countries they go are those that I will probably never be able to afford. However, they told me traveling is very, very tiring and usually they are reluctant to do it. One of them even resigned from her job after she has a new baby.

Well, in future when more and more companies have their global offices wired with high-definition video conferencing, then, it will definitely cuts down on the need for employees travel. Projects can also take off faster as people do not have to schedule their travels.

Video Conference System is the key to authentic, realistic and immersive telepresence experience which can be provided by companies like LifeSize dot com. If you wish to see the demo high definition video conferencing, do check out the link on LifeSize.

 

One Response to High definition video conferencing

    Hi Lilian,

    Interesting to see your work in this area as I have been looking for similar case studies of workers (and indeed mums!) cutting down on their travel in this way, but using free video conferencing.

    I write for ooVooworld, the unofficial WOM world about the free video chat download ooVoo, and wondered if you think this kind of app is ‘the future’ as much as the more expensive, supervised systems you discuss here – potentially more democratic and accessible to everyone, including self-employed women?

    Do you or your readers have any experiences or opinions of people using applications like ooVoo more as well as office-based systems?

    Many thanks, Molly
