I was at an EBC at EMC in the San Jose area. They have one of these setups. It looks exactly like that room he was in. The cool part was, when we walked in the room the system was already on so the guy on the other side was already there, sitting down by himself. Just looking at the chairs on both sides of him, and the door with people walking by outside, then watching him talk and fiddle with the dry markers, after the amazement wore off, it really felt like he was there with us.

I work in Accenture Argentina and today we tested with the TP room in Chicago and is incredible. In a few minutes you forget that you are 10.000 miles away. The quality of the 1080p video screens is excellent.

Fabulous technology. Light years ahead of the old Proxicom video conferencing systems. I can't wait to be able to utilize this in my companies.

my dad works at Cisco and he says they use the telepresence for alot of meetings when its pointless to fly all the way out for meetings if its just for one day or somethig hes says it looks like they are actually in the room with you

There should be millions of Telepresence setups in operation continuously, connecting the world's people in a visceral way. Ponder how many of these and similar devices could be built for a tenth of the world's so-called "defense" budget, and how much better of we'd be to spend that money on connecting the world's people in this emotionally powerful way rather than trying so hard to frighten and threaten and attack each other.

As a Cisco Employee, I can tell you that the gear itself, on entry level is $300,000 USD - which may sound like a lot, untill you realize the time and money saved in traveling for meetings...
