Thank You for Inviting Us into Your Home, or “It’s a Holographic Life”

(hat tip C4Chaos for his post)

First the Wii, and now this!

Here’s what I’m guessing: if an image can be transmitted and received, the same image can be recorded..or at least I’m sure Cisco is working on that now.

Gives a whole new meaning to the idea of a house concert, huh?

“The ‘Cisco On-Stage TelePresence Experience’ was an ambitious collaboration between Cisco and Musion Systems, which took place during the opening of Cisco’s Globalization Centre East in Bangalore, India. Musion seamlessly integrated their 3D holographic display technology with Cisco’s TelePresence’s system to create the world’s first real time virtual presentation.”

“Cisco CEO John Chambers, who was live on the Bangalore stage, ‘beamed up’ Martin De Beer, the Senior Vice President of emerging Technologies, and Chuck Stucki the General Manager of TelePresence, live from San Jose, California. Chambers was then able to have a ‘face to face’ discussion with De Beer and Stucki on the future of Cisco TelePresence, demonstrating first hand the potential capabilities of the system in front of the watching audience.” (original video here)
