GOTOEX is a modern information technology. Extracting information from the world wide web is a thing of the past. Realistic sense of action is something we can experience now, this minute! FROM THE VIRTUAL TO THE LIVING REALITY!

GOTOEX is a hardware/software system that enables the user to visit many exhibitions and museums of the world online via the Internet. The objective of GOTOEX is to provide online access to limitless numbers of users to displays of participants of exhibitions in many countries around the world, including museum exhibits.

Exhibitions alive Possibility to visit any exhibition at the same time as it takes place, without leaving home or your office, with a possibility to directly communicate with any of the exhibition participants – all that is GOTOEX. It is a reality determined by the annually increasing pace of life and distances between the worlds business centers. It is a new way of developing business activity and increasing the level of information exchange, both between professionals and between ordinary people.

Since 2005 attempts have been made to bring out internet technology appropriate for the use. However all that has been brought forward down to this day still cannot come to a level of their large use due to a number of major drawbacks: The first drawback is too high costs (1.5-2 mln. euro per 2 hours) of videoconferencing in a tele bridge format. The second one is the limitations that exist when web-cameras are used, consisting of inability to connect a large number of internet users at the same time and to enable their interactive communication live with online exchange of information. Thirdly, it is the high demand for human resources and time budget as the problem the exhibitors face in the arrangement of the broadcasting from the exhibition and when making the broadcasting program.

A very good example is the Russian presidential elections that were held on 4th of March 2012, when the technology of online broadcasting from the polling stations was first implemented. There was a total of cameras in the country as a whole. With the budget of 375 mln. Euros and the preparation time of 3 months the cameras only had the capability to record what was happening and broadcast it to the Internet, severely limiting the number of the website visitors due to required pre-registration because of potential risk of the site failure.
