Tandberg T3 Reaction
September 19, 2008
As you get to know me, you will find there is NOTHING that excites me more than poking my competitors. Call it competitive, slightly biased and certainly not playing by the corporate rules, but why have a blog if you can’t say what you’re thinking? So today, I cannot keep quiet for one more second on an announcement that Tandberg will apparently make on Monday on their latest and greatest telepresence product. It’s not that I am intent on preempting their announcement or ruining their PR plans for Monday, its that this newest release is one more example of the ongoing problem for the telepresence industry today – ITS NOT TRUE TELEPRESENCE. Yes, it has the life-size images, HD video, the same look and feel in all the rooms, but they have constructed an artificial environment. Don’t get me wrong, the Tandberg Experia T3 has a sleek and cool physique – meaning the tables and chairs are stylish in the truest Euro sense of the word, the table is connected to the screens, there is apparently a blue light both in front and in back that give that 3D feel (kind of makes me think of the 60’s…) and when you first look at it you cant help but think wow!
