Telepresence is the only technology that offers almost the exact same experience as a face-to-face meeting. As all remote rooms look the same, both the local room and the images of the remote room blend in perfectly, creating one realistic, yet virtual meeting room. Technical elements - such as microphones - are integrated in the meeting desk, amplifying the experience of all participants meeting in one room, around one table.

Plugging in a PC allows sharing documents with all particpants. Audio and video are synchronized without any noticeable delay. The system totally adapts itself to the user context, not the other way around.
