CES 2012: Vidyo and Verizon demo HD videoconferencing over 4G LTE


By
Telecom Lead Team:
Vidyo is demonstrating sophisticated HD
videoconferencing over a 4G LTE network of Verizon at CES 2012. The HD
videoconferencing can help make shopping easy and more profitable for
retailers. 

 

“The
Connected Retail Experience is a brilliant example of how Vidyo’s fluid,
natural videoconferencing technology can be made even more useful and effective
when married with ancillary data available at the same time over the Verizon 4G
LTE network,” said Ofer Shapiro, chief executive officer and founder of
Vidyo.

 

In
the Connected Retail Experience, a Virtual Personal Stylist (VPS) shows how
shopping for new clothes can become both an easier experience over the 4G LTE
network.  The VPS is a concept from the ng Connect Program, founded by
Alcatel-Lucent with more than 125 member companies, including Vidyo.

 

By
using Vidyo’s HD, low-latency videoconferencing technology in conjunction with
the Verizon 4G LTE network, shoppers can interact through a sleek, futuristic
retail kiosk to select flattering, stylish and coordinated clothing. The
shopper can interact live, via Vidyo technology, with a human fashion
consultant who can see and interact with the shopper in the same way as if he
or she were there in person.

 

Recently, Vidyo announced the launch of VidyoMobile for the iPhone 4S, and showed a video
conference with four endpoints plus content sharing on Apple’s latest smart
phone.

 

With
the processor of the iPhone 4S, Vidyo delivers the same experience on the
iPhone 4S that it delivers on the iPad2 including a pinch to zoom capability
which enables a better user experience when sharing content on a small screen
or even enlarging a given participant.
