Telepresence Report: Seeing is Believing
  
 
What’s the difference between Video Conferencing and Telepresence?
Telepresence picks up where video conferencing left off. Telepresence IS real time, full-high-definition, immersible sound and vision. Telepresence IS most importantly: the feeling of being “there” when you’re “here”. Telepresence is lifelike, video conferencing is not. Telepresence is that hi-line Mercedes AMG, video conferencing is a Ford Escort - Period.
Why Telepresence now?
Video conferencing has been around a while now but has always lacked the feeling we spoke about above. Jumpy computer screens, broken audio and poor lighting add to the impersonal touches of video conferencing (ie slow motion camcorder on top of your computer monitor). Finally, technology, bandwidth, vision and sound have all converged on video conferencing to create the telepresence experience. It’s about time! Crystal clear surround sound and real-time full-high-definition visual effects enhance the feeling of being there – thus telepresence. That nervous twitch, roll of the eyes, sniffle, tap of the foot – things you see when you’re present and sitting across a conference room table – things you don’t see or feel from video conferencing, but do with telepresence.
Today, what “real” uses are there for Telepresence?
There is no short answer even possible here. We’ll name a few, more like we’ll put your imagination to work. Imagine a single specialist doctor in Canada treating patients in Haiti via telepresence. Robots in space doing the actual work while the telepresence operator dons his telepresence helmet and gloves at his workstation in Texas. Meeting your Russian company vice president while you’re in the executive telepresence room at the office in Denver. Just a few…
What are “real” savings of Telepresence?
Your imagination still working on the last answer? Don’t let up yet! What carbon footprint? Don’t need that airplane ticket to go check on your staff in Russia now do you? What lost life in the Iraqi war? Unmanned drones and soldiers via telepresence. Military and combat cost savings? Immeasurable. Less travel costs, airline frustration, fuel, lost time, carbon emissions, etc. Those are tangible, real savings to name just a very limited few.
You starting to see what telepresence can do that video conferencing can’t? We hope you see what we’re seeing! Telepresence – its time has arrived!

Northborough, MA (PRWEB) August 29, 2007 -- Brockmann & Company, the customer insight research and consulting firm, today released findings from its latest independent self-funded report "Telepresence: Seeing is Believing." Telepresence is a particularly high bandwidth and systems-intensive implementation of high definition room-based video conferencing products and services.
According to Peter Brockmann, president of Brockmann & Company, "Telepresence users are 'eco-friendly'. They are willing to pay 55% more to avoid driving 40 miles than the desktop video conferencing users discussed in our last report, 'The Desktop Video Conferencing Experience'. For Telepresence users system reliability, ease of operation and manageability are the three most important decision criteria. Having done business with the Telepresence vendor in the past was a surprisingly low ranking."
Brockmann added, "Travel is the preferred alternative to telepresence for telepresence users, while for desktop video conferencing users the alternative was audio conference calls."
Vendors mentioned in this report include Cisco, Digital Video Enterprises, Hewlett-Packard, LifeSize, Nortel, Polycom, Radvision, Tandberg and Telanetix.
The report is based on the online responses of 360 business users of conferencing services from around the world.
Brockmann & Company is a consulting & advisory firm serving high tech equipment, application vendors and service providers in the Telepresence, Unified Communications and Email Integrity segments. Clients accelerate growth through customer research & thought leadership. Learn more at http://www.brockmann.com
