Photos: The future of videoconferencing

Beam me up, Scotty...

The TelePresence package includes converting the room, the desk, the networking and three 65-inch high-definition screens - all supplied by Cisco.

Each TelePresence suite is kitted out in identical fashion to create the appearance that everyone is actually sitting in the same room and everyone in the meeting appears life-size on screen.

Directional microphones mean that when someone speaks, the sound comes from where their image is on-screen, while PowerPoint and other presentation material can be projected just below the TV screens.

The high-end videoconferencing package comes with a hefty price tag, however - $300,000 for each TelePresence suite, not including communications costs.
