Shaking up the Web Conferencing Market
Shaking up the Web Conferencing Market
03/06/2004 02:09 AMThis week Convoq launched their
flagship personal web conferencing service, As Soon As Present (ASAP). The launch is a milestone
for the web conferencing marketplace which has to date been
characterized by enterprise-focused price points, despite software
experiences that have not yet graduated into the modern age of rich
client interfaces and experiences and presence-enabled
communications.
Convoq ASAP breaks a lot of ground in the convergence of presence
management, rich media instant messaging and multi-participant web
conferencing, and do this with an economics for the mass-market.
For less than $100 per year, users of ASAP can conduct an ulimited
number of meetings with up to 25 participants. Comparative
pricing from Microsoft LiveMeeting (Placeware) and WebEx is in the
tens of thousands of dollars.
This approach to the market reflects Convoq's philosophy that
real-time, rich media multi-participant online collaboration is ready
to be an everyday productivity application, not a stovepipe system
that is limited in its use to those "premium" sales calls or online
demos. The focus on making real-time collaboration more common
is reflected in Convoq's thoughtful embrace of productivity-enhacing
presence and convocation management features, helping either large or
distributed organizations gather the right people at the right time in
online settings.
If you or your organization makes regular use of instant messaging
and web conferencing in a professional (or personal!) context, I'd
encourage you to evaluate Convoq ASAP.
As a board member of Convoq, it's very exciting to see this
innovative communications service launch -- congrats to the entire
Convoq team! I can also say that while the 1.0 product
accomplishes a lot, this team has an incredible vision and roadmap for
where to take online communications and collaboration, so please stay
tuned.

Solving the "what you're looking at"
problem with Video Conferencing
Solving the "what you're looking at"
problem with Video Conferencing
06/30/2004 11:07 AM
Great article
in the Beeb News about a research project which is actually
reaping great benefits.
For years - I believe one of the things holding up video
conferencing was that the viewer sees the other person either looking
up or to the see - there's no eye contact, as the camera on the others
side is NOT the screen. This creates a very disturbing anomaly that
(IMHO) has prevented everyone but very geeky people to utilize this
breakthrough technology.
So now.......
i2i, in development at Microsoft's research lab in
Cambridge, UK, is a two-camera system which very carefully follows an
individual's movement.
It uses a specially developed algorithm to fuse what each camera
sees to create an accurate stereo "cyclopean" image.
This means it looks as if users are looking each other in the eye.
It can also display floating 3D emoticons.
"We were able to come up with an algorithm that was able to take
two images and capture a corresponding map in 3D," said Antonio
Criminisi, lead researcher of Microsoft's Machine Learning and
Perception Group.
"Using this powerful technology, we can now synthetically create an
image as if the person is looking at you."
I don't necessarily buy the synthetic character angle, but just
getting cameras to show you eye contact is huge....
So whwther or not thsi works - will depend on the issue of "are
peopel willing to trade off and NOT see teh actual human (but a
synthetic one) - all for the purpos eof seeing that person - in the
eye.
But WAIT@! It's a synthetic person, so why....

Hollywood meets Video Conferencing
Hollywood meets Video Conferencing
06/16/2004 02:01 AM
Since I haven't used any videochat software, let alone multiway
video conferencing
system (MVCS), I am not sure if a brief inspiration I had this
afternoon is implemented
or not. The inspiration was to enhance the MVCS experience by
emulating what
movie directors do to help the audience follow conversations in
movies. It's
Hollywood meets video conferencing.
This is how I see the system working. When a person (A)
speaks, the view changes
to A. When another person (B) breaks in, the view switches to
B, but the view
will briefly switch back to (A) several times while B is
speaking. When
B finishes, the view switches back to A. When A doesn't
respond immediately,
the view switches to show other attendents intelligently.The intent
here
is to catch the facial reactions to weave the conversations
into a drama so the
system remembers the interaction history like who spoke when, in
reaction to whom,
for how long, etc. When two people talk at the same
time, the screen is
divided into two parts to minimize the ping-pong effect.
Questions are also
detected and 'the camera' scans the likely 'suspects' for
reactions.
Brief overlaying of textual information about the person on the
screen commonly seen
in detective TV shows should be also useful when participants are
not familiar with
each other (i.e. community meeting with 1000 attendents).
It's smartly done
based on whether it helps the viewer or not.
Lastly and appropriately going overboard, dramatic sounds can be
injected either automatically
or by participants like sounds of suspense or those funny sounds
talkshow DJs like
to use (video-smileys?). Appropriate video clips (i.e. Three
Stooges or Groucho
Marx) can also be injected similarly by the moderator or
attendence.
While I think it is unlikely someone haven't thought of this
before, I thought the
idea was interesting enough to share, just in case.
