Video Conferencing Coming To Your TV Screens
January 10, 2010 by Pablo Palatnik
As technology advances in 2010, the next wave of technology, or how we will use current technology is to bring (or should I say expand) the internet to our television sets. We have seen companies such as Netflix take certain steps in innovation streaming movies through platforms such as an XBOX or Playstation.
“A handful of companies are betting that with high-definition TVs and broadband proliferating, the time is right to bring video conferencing to the living room.
Cisco Systems, Panasonic, LG, Skype and other companies used the Consumer Electronics Show this week to show off their vision for video calls using an HD television. The companies are poised to take what was primarily a PC experience to a more comfortable environment for communication.
It also represents the further maturation of the TV beyond a passive display for broadcasting and video content. With Internet connectivity coming to the TV directly or through other devices, the living room display is taking on new Internet apps and giving consumers much more interactivity.”
These changes are SURE to change how we communicate in our private lives or business wise, even how we will communicate to do certain transactions. 2010 is sure to bring a lot more video players into the game as the web evolves and mobile and TV become a much larger platform for the web.
