Telepresence Beyond a Screen

/
Watch John Chambers and Marthin De Beer of Cisco demonstrate global telepresence beyond the screen. The technology is here today to create presence as though an individual were physically present in real time when they are actually far away. In this case nearly 14,000 miles away.

Viewdle - Face Recognition Software for the Web

/

Viewdle is a facial-recognition powered digital media platform for indexing, searching and monetizing video assets. Viewdle automatically looks inside the video, frame-by-frame, to create a real-time index of true on-screen appearances with unrivaled accuracy and relevance. With multiple patents in preparation, we are quickly building the world’s largest people-in-video reference database.

By unleashing Viewdle technology, content producers and distributors can effectively leverage their video assets to open new revenue streams and attract, engage and retain customers/visitors. Initially focused on providing internal and private-label indexing and search capabilities to news and entertainment media, we will soon launch targeted advertising solutions, developer tools and a consumer-facing search site.

Battling to Save Television - The End is Near

/

The implications of the Internet are broad and battles are raging over the most narrow of issues surrounding these implications. Many of the debates pertain to advancing new technological adoption resulting in continuing benefits to consumers or alternatively the obliteration of irrelevant business models via the adoption of innovations. This is the case increasingly as it relates to the cable and television industries and just one example is the use of white space frequencies. Google wants to utilize certain "White Space" frequencies or spectrum for transmission of data to replace the Wi-Fi standard, which is widely adopted but very inefficient. This video is of Larry Page, co-founder of Google, who addresses the implications of utilizing the white space and how the FCC is protecting the television and cable industry by refusing to allow Google to test a new prototype with these frequencies. The bottom line is this: by creating a better means to transmit data over wider areas and a faster speeds more inexpensively the Internet will be able to deploy content that today is largely distributed via cable and over air signals exclusively. The death of television is near.
