THE USER PERSPECTIVE

The TotalView Difference

The Natural Choice for Natural Communication

Be Here Corporation recognizes that each participant comes to the table from a different perspective – both from the vantage point of where they sit, and from what they want to achieve on the call. We believe in giving "control" to each participant. Each person is an integral and dynamic part of the inherently intimate exchange at the heart of effective business communications whether:

TotalView captures all participants around the table equally, using a distortion-free, always in focus, 360º camera that has no moving parts – ensuring there is no noise or distraction. TotalView uniquely promotes natural eye contact among participants at the local and far end locations – because the microphones, speaker, and camera are converged together in a single device at the center of the meeting room table. This contrasts to other products on the market with a corner of the room, contrived videoconferencing view. TotalView returns participant attention to the central focus of the business at hand, and their eye contact to the natural focal point of the meeting. The device seamlessly and naturally allows you to connect via your personal laptop, ensuring you have the control of what you see and share.

Better than Being There – Without the Expense and Travel

With TotalView, you can be there without the expense, travel and jetlag. You could observe the reaction of a specific client during a important sales proposal teleconference. Focus directly on the body language of your boss. Or even replay the video conference of a staff meeting you’ve missed, and navigate the full 360º view after the fact. Whether narrowing in on one person’s response or taking a step back to see the layout and landscape of the whole room, only TotalView enables the same interaction and choice of “where” you focus your attention that you would have in-person. You can:

The result is a 360º perspective of multiple remote locations at once – and the ability to focus on exactly what you need to view by the moment. Using the power of the existing IP network, TotalView changes the way people communicate from multiple local and remote locations. With TotalView you can navigate independently to directly control your meeting experience. It’s better than being there.

An Unmatched Panoramic Experience

The TotalView 360º navigable and panoramic view makes possible a paradigm shift to a center-of-the-table focal point enabling a true business focus – and delivering on the yet unmet promise of virtual meetings via the Internet. TotalView restores natural interchange to meetings via converged audio-visual-data collaboration. The experience is dramatically unlike existing solutions that involve a contrived “corner of the room” video experience or two-dimensional side-wall views that, at best, offer a distorted unnatural perspective for participants. TotalView is different than other technology solutions that over-promise a seamless experience and that actually disrupt the flow of meetings at times. Existing solutions from other vendors that claim to be “unified” have proven to be sporadically ununified and unrealiable – and thus at times hinder more than help the continuity of what should be transparent and natural communications exchange. While those vendors have tried and failed to make their videoconferencing systems simple, their products are still difficult to use. TotalView breaks that cycle of complexity and is ushering in an easy-to-use multi-line phone, multi-media conferencing, full motion video solution.

Because Collaboration Shouldn’t Be an Extreme Sport

The TotalView video experience is as simple and instantaneous as placing a telephone call – with all the benefits of face to face communication. TotalView is distinctly different from other products and services where distance meetings and collaboration are viewed as “events” that must be planned, require logistics, reservations, advance document uploading, and passwords for users at all ends (not to mention downloading clients and remembering cryptic IP addresses). Dialing from TotalView results in the immediate familiar “hello” at the other end, but with a new twist and reward: an extraordinary navigable 360° view of the people who answer that call at the far-end and of the entire room they are in. And vice versa – with a TotalView-enabled conference room at the other end they’ve got that same powerful collaborative view of you and your local team. With this dynamic interchange made possible by TotalView and your VoIP-enabled environment, teamwork, multi-media data sharing, and business ideas accelerate via:

Now that’s a "live" distance meeting and real-time collaboration.
