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…!

MANCHESTER, N.H. (Business Wire EON) December 6, 2007 -- According to Vette's President and CEO George Dannecker, "The formation of our datacom facilities division in June of this year resulted from our ongoing focus on thermal challenges that our OEM customers are now experiencing in facilities where their equipment has been installed. Data center cooling for high-density data processing equipment has become increasingly complex and expensive. Highly reliable, effective and efficient liquid cooling solutions will replace traditional cooling methods to solve the thermal management needs of our clients."

"As the heat density of rack-mounted equipment increases, we see system-level and spot-cooling solutions starting to migrate into one completely integrated solution for server cooling, utilizing liquid cooling. The datacom facilities division will initially focus on server cooling and data center cooling solutions in high-density equipment installations," Dannecker concluded.

Demand for Power and Cooling Efficiency Grows as Energy Costs Rise

The management of heat generated by high-density loads is an increasing challenge for facilities with rack-mounted servers and communications equipment. Today a typical blade server rack will generate approximately 12,000 to 30,000 watts of heat in a 7 to 8-square foot enclosure. Current estimates show that up to 63 percent of all data center power consumed is devoted to data center cooling.

These increased levels of heat are causing problems for both datacom facility managers and designers. In addition to potentially damaging equipment, excessive heat dissipated into the data center often results in costly downtime.
