Telepresence is a form of video conferencing which uses large screen, high definition technology to

simulate being in the same room. Currently some telepresence systems are using proprietary technology

and are not able to link with other video conference systems.

Today1. Moving into the 21st century, video conferencing still remains in wide use in the commercial

sector. In 2001, the world's first transatlantic tele-surgery took place through a videoconferencing system, which gave a whole new use for video conferencing beyond businessmeetings. This not only brought video conferencing to the attention of the medical profession,but it also peaked interest with the general public, which created a video conferencing explosion.

By October 2001, television reporters were using portable satellites and videophones tobroadcast live reports from the war in Afghanistan. This was the first time video conferencingwas used live in a war zone and one of the first times most consumers saw the power of videoconferencing in action.

Off-campus classrooms were invented and able to function because of video conferencing by2003. And 2004 saw the invention of a voice-activated camera so that the camera could moveaccording to who was speaking and video conferencing became popular for conference calls. Thepast few years have seen a further explosion of the use of video conferencing. No longer docompanies have to spend thousands of dollars flying executives and employees all over the worldfor meetings.

There are many advantages to video conferences:

1, Companies are able to have meetings easily between branches that are situated very faraway;2, Companies are able to save on travel and hotel costs, previously incurred throughtransporting different employees to one place,3, Meetings can be organised at short notice,4, Employees are able to work from home, increasing work flexibility,5, Meetings do not require large room facilities.

The Future

2. As technology advances, the video conferencing market is expected to continue to evolveas well. Not only does it continue to be part of one's professional life, but it's also part ofmany people's personal lives too. This is especially true as video conferencing systemsbecome more affordable for the average person to afford.
