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…!

(PRWEB) December 4, 2007 -- Dantel, Inc. the leader in network surveillance and management systems, today announced that a major telecommunication service provider selected its PointMaster Eagle and VisionMaster to monitor and alarm a city government's telecommunications infrastructure.

"Recognizing that the loss of a T1 line can have a crippling effect on a city's telecommunication infrastructure, a solution needed to be developed to provide an extra layer of protection," stated Dave Lauger, director of business development for Dantel. "While the T1 equipment provides an automatic back up in the event of a line loss, the city had no way to determine whether a loss had occurred. The solution presented to the city consisted of Dantel's PointMaster Eagle and VisionMaster."

The PointMaster Eagle will monitor and alarm the T1 equipment at the remote sites. All alarms will be reported to Dantel's network management platform, VisionMaster, which will be located at the city hall.

The PointMaster® Eagle is a communications network management system that provides concentration, management and reporting of network element events, as well as environmental alarm status. The Eagle , NEBS Level 3 and UL certified, is designed to improve quality of service (QoS) by intelligently collecting and reporting mission critical information. The Eagle detects events, converting and reporting the information into any one of several protocols and interfaces to any existing centralized network operation center (NOC) or Dantel's VisionMaster Micro-NOC? Management System.

The VisionMaster® is an industry leading solution for local and enterprise alarm monitoring and control. Multiple communication protocols allow end users to decide on how they will communicate with their remote equipment and view events in their network.
