Telep-Presence: Pre-requisites, RoI and More

摘要

With the progress in technology, video conferencing evolved as an alternative medium of communication, although how effective it has been as a substitute for travel is for all to see (how many times have you actually used it?). The quality of images transmitted and received and the amount of jitter (accentuated with poor bandwidths provided by underlying networks, still in their nascent stages) and the overall quality of experience (a person is left fiddling around with equipment more than he could focus on the actual conference) left a lot to be desired. So, there was a clear case for technology to upgrade itself to high-res equipment and ensure a seamless transfer of data across networks.
