From the Labs - notes on two presentation

BrightCom:

Bob from Brightcom
Immersive Telepresence
Serial Entrepreneur

BrightCom demonstrated how they could use rendered work environments to match the two environments into a single environment. Weird, very clunky Second Life plug in to show. The concept is interesting. In real time take the person’s movements and emotions, translate them to animation, that is photo realistic, and add a rendered office background to create a environment that gives a better experience for telepresence.

Simple dynamic user experience
Use the blogs to talk about the results
Many easy to use visualization tools
Discussion through bookmarks and annotation
Leverages the blogosphere individuals have a personal incentive: users upload data for visualization.

This tool gives users the ability to upload a data set and then create multiple visual representations of the data. It fills a need that Excel does not answer – good data visualization. They include a blog & discussion function to allow people to discuss the results. The results can be bookmarked and sent to others for further discussion.
