Welcome to Telepresence World — a publication that examines the emerging technology of virtual collaboration. For those of you who are not familiar with the term "telepresence," it refers to the growing trend of businesses to meet and exchange ideas utilizing an advanced method of video conferencing that blends life-size, high-definition images, fluid motion and crystal-clear audio to produce an immersive experience unlike anything you have seen before.

Telepresence is revolutionizing the way corporations conduct business on a global scale. The archetypical "road warrior" has been replaced by the new executive — one who is no longer a slave to airline schedules, weather disruptions, or terrorism threats. Meeting with a colleague or client whose office is located on another continent will be as easy as strolling down the hall to a telepresence suite that has been custom-designed to suit your individual needs.
