About Telepresence World 2007

"You have to experience it to believe it" is often heard when describing how
telepresence works. At the Telepresence World 2007 conference, June 4-6, at the
University of San Diego, San Diego, CA, attendees will be able to do just
that--experience live, real-time demonstrations of telepresence technology provided
by industry leaders and event sponsors Polycom, Teliris, Cisco, Telanetix, BT, DVE
(Digital Video Enterprises), and Masergy. Telepresence, which uses high definition
video and audio, large, high-resolution displays, and low-latency networks to offer
the most realistic meeting experience possible between people separated by distance,
will vastly simplify the way virtual collaboration takes place.
