Product Description: Combining ease-of-use and the highest quality experience, SightSpeed Multi-Party Video Messenger is a real-time, full-motion video conferencing service that delivers multi-party, enterprise-level visual communications through the Internet. Using SightSpeed Multi-Party Video Messenger's software-only service, groups of users using Windows PCs, Macs, and/or Linux PCs can instantly contact each other and conduct face-to-face discussions.
Market Opportunity: More voice and video communication is being done over the Internet and Web conferencing is predicted to be a $1.1B industry by 2007. "There's a need for good-quality, fast, lightweight videoconferencing technology for the desktop," says Robert Mahowald, a research manager with IDC.
DEMO Says: Latency issues have challenged the entry of video into everyday teleconferencing. With low-cost cameras and high-bandwidth connections in place, SightSpeed answers the challenge by delivering video compression techniques with latency undectectable to the eye. More importantly, though, SightSpeed has packaged its video solutions so that they are one-click easy to use and very affordable. The multi-point product SightSpeed brings to market today liberates video conferencing from the domain of high-priced conference room systems and delivers video conferencing to any desktop. - CS
