Skype - Videoconferencing - NYE 2008: Can we make this happen, or is the point moot? - Page 5

CP: I believe that was my laptop. (The one where the camera was external)

Funny you should say that (about the audio), because I tend to think it's not loud enough, but I'm glad you were pleased with the sound (and hey, I'm deaf, right?)

FWIW, it's a Toshiba Satellite

Just found this.

I'm going to download it. Who wants to test with me?

Cadaverous Pallor · 01-03-2009, 05:26 PM

Ok, I've got it downloaded. PM me for my screenname if you want to test this with me at some point. Of course we'll have to figure out a time to get a bunch of us together and test it fully. It supports up to 6 people at a time.

I bet as soon as I log off (which is soon, I have errands to run) others will log on.

There are some limitations but it works - even in Australia

QA the Robot

Quote:

QA is designed to look like a human albeit on wheels.It stands 5 feet tall and a 5-megapixel camera is situated on the neck. The great advantage of this is that it is much easier for the person who is controlling the robot via a PC thousands of miles away from the robot, to communicate with the people that are in the same room as the robot. (It's difficult when your eye-level is like 5 inches from the floor when using other telepresence robots.) QA is connected to the world using corporate Wi-Fi or public 3G networks. It has a screen in the front which can show a photo of the operator or whatever the operator wants to show the people on the other side.

And it even has a frickin laser beam in it's head!
