Telepresence and Holography / Holograms - November 2008

Editor’s viewpoint on their differences, likenesses and future...

We all just recently viewed an historic CNN holographic interview on an historic Election Night. CNN stated this type of imaging has never been done before on National TV and I believe that. I haven’t seen anything like it. The live interview caught me by surprise and sure had the “wow” factor attached to it didn’t it? Here’s a link to the actual interview.

CNN Hologram Video

The question now has to be asked. Is it Telepresence?

I’m no expert on the subject but I’m going to throw my hat into the ring, go out on a limb and say yes, I believe it is. Although I know many video conferencing purists are rolling their eyes and grabbing their guns right about now with my statement.

While I do know that Telepresence still hasn’t been universally defined (Houston, we have a problem), here’s how I see it…. Broken down to its simplest form - “tele” (through electronic means) and “presence” (present). This is how I’m justifying my opinion by lumping holography and Telepresence together. Just as Telepresence is surely an offshoot of video conferencing, holographic imaging (like we viewed on CNN) surely has to be considered an offshoot of Telepresence. The interviewer was “telepresent” from Chicago and beamed into the CNN Election Headquarters. She was most assuredly - “telepresent”. There was negligible latency, the imaging was fantastic and both interviewers were rehearsed on what they would say. I’ve just recently read that CNN actually “downgraded” the experience to make it “movie” quality and not as good as it could have been. Maybe they thought us mere mortals would be shocked if they showed their complete hand. I have a feeling it was so big to them, they didn’t want it to get upstaged by the historic election. I’m willing to bet we’ll see the “true” power of this technology in the upcoming weeks and months when they can put the pedal to the medal and show it off without having it sidetracked.

What an amazing time for this technology (all differences and opinions aside). Telepresence Doctors, nurses, teachers, schools and healthcare (healthpresence) will benefit from the recent gains in this state-of-the-art industry whether holograms, Telepresence or holography. Airlines also have to see the threat to a portion of their business travel. Hell, who wants go through security and fly to Miami for a two-hour conference when you can look them in the eye via Telepresence?

Beam me up Scotty! Simply amazing…!

If you want the best digital cable TV service combined with blazingly fast Internet access and a telephone calling plan that will save you tons of money, then there's only one company to go with. That's because Comcast does a better job of bundling all three of those great services together than any other company.

The digital cable TV service provided by Comcast, with over two hundred and seventy five channels available, is the best you'll find everywhere. There are also a variety of different programming packages available that will serve any set of circumstances or budget. All of these great programming packages come with a bunch of value adding features including, a digital receiver, all of your local channels, forty five digital music channels, and access to a huge selection of recently released movies through the special ON DEMAND pay per view feature. The Comcast digital receiver provides the added value of ensuring the best quality picture and sound and also provides you with the option of recording video using a built in digital video recording feature. With the help of a Digital Video Recorder (DVR), you'll never have to miss an episode of your favorite TV show again because of scheduling conflicts. That's because you'll be able to program the machine to record TV shows and movies when they come on, so that you can watch them when your schedule permits. The fact that local channels are included means that you can enjoy them in the same great digital quality regardless of what the weather is doing outside, and the digital music channels will provide you with such a huge selection of music that you may never feel the need to buy a CD again. The ON DEMAND feature provides the impressive ability to watch a movie whenever you want, stopping, replaying, and fast forwarding it when you want. ON DEMAND is basically like renting a movie without leaving your home.

Comcast's high speed Internet service can expand your entertainment options even more! That's because, with download speeds of up to eight megabytes a second, you'll have access to video, music, online games- including great virtual reality games like WarCraft- and you'll even be able to download full length movies at will. With Comcast 's high speed Internet access, you'll even be able to buy and download huge software applications without having to wait for them to arrive in the mail on disc!

High speed Internet access from Comcast arrives over the same cable connection as your digital TV channels, and because it's always on, you'll never have to mess around with logging onto the Internet again. Another great benefit of high speed Internet access (Broadband) from Comcast is that it will allow you're entire family to surf all at once with the use of a wireless router. Once a wireless router is installed on your cable modem, you home will become a WiFi hot spot that will give every device in your home with wireless capabilities full access to the Internet. Best of all, Comcast's Internet service provides so much bandwidth that under normal circumstances everyone in you're family will be able to surf at the same time without any noticeable slowdown in service!

Of course, Comcast has also found ways to save you money while giving you superior service for your voice communications as well. Digital voice from Comcast provides you with all of the extra features that you use every day without charging you extra for them. Even your domestic long distance calls are included in the normal flat rate of your phone bill!

For all of your phone, TV, and Internet needs, you can let Comcast be your service provider of choice. The current Comcast promotional offers are fantastic. It is time to switch to the best cable company in with the best cable deals.
