It uses brain-like technology from Numenta (full disclosure: that's where I work).]]>Oct 9th 2009 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/switched-on-towards-telepresences-tipping-point/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/switched-on-towards-telepresences-tipping-point/Oct 9th 2009 6:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/switched-on-towards-telepresences-tipping-point/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/switched-on-towards-telepresences-tipping-point/
A few years back I walked in on my boss setting up a webcam to "monitor a certain employee's internet usage" because she wasn't "getting her work done". Needless to say, she was one of the more "attractive" employees at our office and I'm sure the webcam was designed to catch more than just what was on the monitor. He wasn't employed there for very much longer.

With this latest one, I sent it to one of our sites. The manager down there got the box, and the engineer was out. I told her it was simple to set up. 15 minutes later, we were connected. These new telepresense systems are getting easy... and I agree with the assessment about Cisco. The price is being driven down, and the products are becoming more affordable for more people/organizations. ]]>Oct 9th 2009 7:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/switched-on-towards-telepresences-tipping-point/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/switched-on-towards-telepresences-tipping-point/Oct 9th 2009 7:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/switched-on-towards-telepresences-tipping-point/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/switched-on-towards-telepresences-tipping-point/Oct 9th 2009 9:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/switched-on-towards-telepresences-tipping-point/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/switched-on-towards-telepresences-tipping-point/Oct 10th 2009 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/switched-on-towards-telepresences-tipping-point/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/switched-on-towards-telepresences-tipping-point/Oct 12th 2009 7:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/switched-on-towards-telepresences-tipping-point/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/switched-on-towards-telepresences-tipping-point/Oct 17th 2009 12:16AM
