This is impressive technology. You can see it in action on this Cisco promo vid on You Tube.

I have used this today and was very, very impressed. 

The quality is outstanding and the experience the best yet by a long way.

I don't want to be a kill joy or anything but ... most of this technology is 7years old (even cisco says that) and the video itself is a year old!

Let's hope it's easier to use than our office phones. Two years on and we still have problems transferring calls.

In the interest of balance, I want to mention the video conferencing suite developed by HP and Dreamworks a couple of years ago. I saw some demos and wrote about it at the time, and it was eerily like having real people on the other side of the table, just separated by a pane of glass.

Business Week and the IT press all covered it at the time.

ABN Amro signed a deal last year to roll out rooms at 12 business units worldwide, but I'm not sure if that plan has survived the RBS acquisition.
