First Integrated Voice, Video and Data Phone Enables the Three Million
VoIP-Converted Conference Tables in the Enterprise
DEMOfall Booth #61, SAN DIEGO and FREMONT, Calif., Sept. 25
/PRNewswire/ -- Be Here Corporation, the pioneer in immersive optics and
imaging, today announced at DEMOfall 2006 the beta version of TotalView,
the first VoIP Collaboration Phone with full-room video. TotalView is the
next essential business tool, delivering a view of the entire conference
room that provides a natural experience as if all locations are sitting
around the same conference table. Designed for multi-location meetings of
three to four people in each location, TotalView delivers voice, video and
data in a simple appliance that sits at the center of the conference table.
Leveraging the enterprise's VoIP investment, TotalView replaces the
conference room speaker phone with a single integrated device. Each person
can connect their laptop to TotalView and individually control their camera
view as well as the data they see and share, separately from the other
meeting attendees. TotalView can be experienced live at DEMOfall 2006
Conference in San Diego, CA, September 25 - 27 at booth #61.
"Large studies we conducted in 2005 and 2006 resulted in two key
findings. The first was that over 90% of all meetings in the enterprise are
small, between two to six people, and there is intense interaction between
members. The second key finding showed that the most common meetings
include one or two remote sites," said David Coleman, managing director of
Collaborative Strategies. "TotalView is the first collaboration appliance
we have seen that deals with all media types in a small conference room and
has the power and flexibility to support small meetings."
Today there are already 30 million VoIP-enabled phone lines in the
North American enterprise. One out of every ten of these lines goes to a
small conference room or table in an executive's office -- where a speaker
phone is typically in use today and where small, ad hoc meetings lie at the
heart of enterprise productivity. TotalView empowers users at these
conference tables and eliminates the need for expensive, cumbersome video
conferencing systems, resource scheduling, call bridges, and additional
data sharing technologies.
Key features of TotalView include:
Full Room Video -- TotalView's patented 360o camera captures the entire
conference room delivering a natural "at-the-table" experience.
Individual View Control -- TotalView enables each attendee to
individually navigate their camera view on their desktop, ensuring that
each user sees what is most important to them.
Instant Data Collaboration -- TotalView allows on-demand viewing and
sharing of any application from presentations, to spreadsheets, to industry
leading collaborative services.
"The opportunity for the VoIP Collaboration Phone is here today. Every
major provider in this industry has made a substantial commitment to visual
communications," said Stephen Von Rump, president and CEO of Be Here
Corporation. "Users have significant capabilities now at the desktop and in
the large conference room, but a huge gap exists at the average working
person's conference table, and that is the venue TotalView addresses."
Pricing and Availability
TotalView is scheduled to ship early next year and will sell for
$1,995. To request an invitation to join the TotalView beta program please
