Cisco TelePresence is a unique, “in-person” experience for business and personal meetings with people in different physical locations. So when you sit down at the conference table in the meeting room, other participants appear to be sitting across the table, in life size, even if they are physically located halfway around the world.

Cisco TelePresence is based on an entirely new technology and delivers a radically different experience In-person feeling: You see life-size, full-motion video with such high resolution that it reveals even the subtlest facial expressions. CD-quality sound adds to the in-person experience. You can interrupt and otherwise interact as naturally as if you were in the same room.

Until now, businesses and individuals had two options for meeting face to face with people in other locations. Air travel is costly and takes time away from work and family. Remote meeting solutions, in turn, lack the in-person experience because of their small, grainy images and poor sound quality

Telepresence combined with Musion eye liner. Eye liner is a 100 micron thick piece of foil which is a great reflector. The Musion system takes a captured image and shines it down to a mirror on the ground with an ultra-bright projector. The image then bounces off the mirror and is displayed on the Eye-liner foil.

Images appear in 3D high definition. Without the use of special audience props Like 3D glasses. Live or virtual stage presenters can appear alongside and interact with virtual images of humans or animated characters, much like the effect created for Warner Brothers movie, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?”

This is due to a prose's called peppers ghost. An object is projected onto a screen in a hidden area which reflects onto the foil which is at a 45 degree angle to the screen, making the projected image appear on stage.
