Imago opens Polycom demo suites to resellers

Distributor opens immersive telepresence demonstration rooms in Berkshire and France

Vickerage: Body language improves the communications of people using telepresence

Video comms distributor Imago Group has installed Polycom ATX immersive telepresence at its offices in Thatcham, Berkshire and at its Plaisir subsidiary near Paris.

The demonstration suites will be available to resellers to help customers weigh up their telepresence options.

Ian Vickerage, managing director of Imago, said that the best way to appreciate telepresence is to actually experience it.

“Unless you have been involved in a telepresence meeting, it is hard to appreciate just how true to life they can be,” he said. “The key to immersive telepresence is that it should feel as if all the participants are in the same room. The dimensions enable participants to speak with and see the body language of others, without any concerns about the technology that allows it to happen.”

The suites will be kitted out with ergonomic, sustainable wooden furniture from Benchmark and feature identical Polycom ATX units.
