WHAT IS VIDEO CONFERENCING?
Video conferencing explained
Video conferencing is the process of using an Internet connection to conference with one or more people simultaneously through video. It combines live visual communication with audio so participants in different locations can speak and see one another in real time.
02
Internet connection
Modern video conferencing uses IP-based connectivity to carry voice, video and meeting data between locations.
03
Multiple participants
A video conference can connect two people or bring several participants and locations into the same live meeting.
IP TELEPHONY + VIDEO
From IP Telephony to face-to-face business communication
Although the title retains the familiar phrase “VoIP video conferencing,” this page uses IP Telephony when discussing Internet-based business calling and communications.
Video conferencing is not simply a high-tech replacement for the conference phone. IP Telephony provides Internet-based voice communication, while video conferencing adds visual presence and shared face-to-face interaction for people working from different locations.
For decentralized operations, outsourcing and flextime, video conferencing can make spontaneous business communication easier without requiring everyone to travel to the same conference room.

HOLOGRAPHICAL REALITY™
Why the In-Wall™ feels different from a conventional video screen
Teleportel's patented 3D Holographical Reality™ is designed around presence rather than simply displaying a remote video feed. The receptionist appears life-sized and in 3D, with aligned eye contact, while the camera and screen remain outside the visitor's view.
The effect is intentionally different from ordinary 2D displays and from consumer “3D TV” concepts that require goggles. No glasses are needed. The objective is an immersive, authentic interaction in which the person on the other side feels much closer to being in the same room.
The sound is also positioned so that it seems to come from the person rather than from an obvious loudspeaker, reinforcing the overall sense of presence.
