Virtual meeting

Actuality System’s Perspecta can make virtual meeting a reality. If we want to have group meeting among people distributed by geography, we log into some common audio conference facility. But it still does not give the same feeling as seating face to face. We don’t see the subtle facial expression which you can see in face to face meeting. We have video conference technologies but these are two dimensional in nature. What perspecta promises is 3D view. I am very thrilled about the possibility of days when I will be seating far from office and still be part of group meeting and will be able to see the reaction of fellow participant. Say this technology become so cheap that I buy 100 piece of it and arrange them on the table one for each participant connected with high speed network. Camera facing individual will transmit voice and visual to create 3D image and sound. I think will user true era of virtual office or work from. As people can work from distance without loosing touch, I thins will help in reducing the congestion of city, road traffic and many associated benefits.
