"It can create realistic collaborative interaction through a color-calibrated visual experience, a key differentiator compared with traditional products, the company said".

Those whacky PR guys... I think that mean's people can see each other on high definition plasma screens in a room, and no one else has done that yet.

Well, this information was very interesting because we can see how much technologies have grown and increased since its beginning in aspects like this one. The videoconference helps people to talk and see throughout the world in a cheap and useful way because almost everyone can access internet and a videoconferencing system is cheap and you can instal it to any computer. In this summary we can see that videoconferenca can be used for a lot of this. Not just talking to another person. Maybe in the future we would even be able to work, and do all our daily life though a computer like the halo rooms.

i believe this is a very useful thing, it will make many things easier, like you won`t need to travel to get to a meating but it also has its bad part, like it will make us like robots or like you won`t have to travel for a meeting, but you won`t know the culture, environment, etc of a place.

Well, its kind of interesting to see that new techs as this one are now being put onto service. This ¨Halo¨technology of videoconferencing seems to be useful and shows us that a new breed of business communication options are being born. Businesses neeed this kind of methods nowadays for a quicker communication for plan and business problems sharing.

Having your people or your own boss talking to you from a plasma screen with super HD characteristics sounds quite interesting, but at the same time the use of this new method of videoconferencing enhances the experience and makes it even more interactive than it normally is.

Anyway, with the useful and important advance of this tech we can now assure ourselves that sooner or later holographs will be sour new method of communication in civil and business ways. Thats it.
