Why are these guys smiling? You’d smile, too, if you were voted funds on Kickstarter to develop The PanaCast Experience.
Altia Systems is now shipping PanaCast Experience for desktop and mobile device multi-point communications.
PanaCast delivers an immersive, real-time 200° panoramic video experience with up to 60 fps and HD audio to anyone, anywhere, with an internet connection. Even at 3G wireless speeds, PanaCast enables Panoramic-HD video quality and always includes enterprise-level video encryption.
Each remote participant (using the free PanaCast app) can choose their own individual perspective from the stationary camera’s real-time panoramic video stream with the swipe of a finger (or zooming in and out with a finger pinch/spread).
The PanaCast system is not only fully portable, but also offers usability through its integration of both NFC and QR code technology. This makes creating and joining a videoconference session as easy as touching a smartphone to the top of the camera or scanning the QR code.
Altia Systems’ PanaCast experience is created through the integration of the panoramic–HD video camera-server, a real-time Cloud switch fabric and free apps.
The camera works with both Skype and Google Hangouts as well as other business applications, or it can be bundled with the cloud-based PanaCast service (in USA, starting at an introductory price of $19/month per user).
