Ericsson presents a new IT and Internet product

Ericsson presents a new IT and Internet product Ericsson presents a new IT and Internet product for multimedia communication in connection to Expo '98 in Lisbon. The product, Instant Recording Internet Solution (IRIS), offers the ability to capture, document & communicate a full multimedia production of seminars, meetings, conferences or lectures in real time via a PC, using multiple cameras. A live movie of a speaker can be viewed interactively with flipping images from an overhead projector, a whiteboard or from a PC Power Point presentation, all on the same screen. The complete production of the meeting can be stored on a hard disk or sent in real time to a host server. The information can then be retrieved on demand or distributed live throughout the Internet or through a corporate Intranet. It is also possible to simply take the complete presentation and download it on a CD and/or have it sent as an e-mail to your PC to be waiting for you when you get back. The system saves costs and time. It is extremely easy to operate and needs no expert knowledge. The stored production is played back simply by the touch of a button. This product will be used in the unique setting of the Swedish Pavilion at EXPO'98 in Lisbon. Ericsson has, together with Telia, Audicom, Senab LF, Affärskraft and Dataton, formed a partnership called the Spring Group which will be holding international seminars between 24-27 August 1998.
