The application of WolfVision Visualizers for videoconferencing, telepresence and distance learning

Efficient global communication – fast decision making and improved business performance

Efficient communication and cooperation are no longer dependent on personal presence. Enterprises today are increasingly aware of the need to compete on a global basis, to strengthen business partnerships and to improve their own productivity by enabling dispersed teams to work together more efficiently.

Fast moving companies understand that effective communication that conveys a presence without the person being there accelerates working processes and enables them to make better decisions in less time. For the successful communication of complex detail the telephone, e-mail or even the internet are no longer sufficient.

Products, designs, prototypes, plans etc. need to be shown and discussed and the deployment of visualisation by means of a WolfVision Visualizer is the perfect collaboration tool.

A simple handling concept - concentrate on the basics

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”, said Leonardo da Vinci, and that in a time which was nowhere near as fast-paced and complex as that of today. In the complicated modern world, making the operation of the WolfVision Visualizer simple is our greatest challenge.

In addition to providing crystal-clear image reproduction, ease-of-operation is the very best service that we can offer our clients. The user-oriented design results in user-friendly, intuitive operation, and the inclusion of sensors, along with a fully-automated system, means much less work for users during a videoconferencing session.

Telepresence

The global media company Nikkei Inc. publishes in various locations. The speed of publishing demands last minute explanations and decision making.

Mr. Okada from Nikkei Printing says: "We used to review product samples and proposals locally, but with the move of our manufacturing team to various other locations we required a solution that enables us to still communicate at short notice, and under the pressure of deadlines. The WolfVision VZ-C32³ Ceiling Visualizer along with a HD videoconferencing system was the perfect solution. The Visualizer picks up images of the relatively large samples in high quality and very good colour reproduction, allowing us to continue to hold our meetings as we used to."

Videoconferencing - group systems

One of the main reasons is the WolfVision Visualizer which is connected to a videoconferencing system. Annie Brink-Koch explains: "The WolfVision Visualizer enables us to show all aspects of 3-dimensional objects during video conferences. The fine detail of products can be shown from all angles, which may generate further discussion, and can be zoomed in on for even closer detail."

The initial impression of high quality never goes away

We live in fast-changing times. Technology and equipment age much quicker than ever before. However, there are exceptions and WolfVision Visualizers are such an exception. They are indeed ahead of their time and will certainly not be classed as outdated in many years to come. That may well sound presumptuous. However, the fact is that not every Visualizer is distinguished by timeless, user-oriented design, and not every Visualizer can boast hand-made production. The WolfVision Visualizer is such a design and can make such a claim. Every stage of the production process is controlled by specialists who are personally responsible for the quality of each unit produced. The keyword is quality and it is the main objective.

Videoconferencing - personal systems

This, for Bernhard Zwischenbrugger, is an indispensible form of communication: " Many product details are discussed during our virtual meetings. Without visualisation and transmission of the highest quality, this would not be possible. Nobody can discuss or make decisions about shape, colour or function in detail without having seen the product in question. The only alternative would be local presence, but this would result in expensive and time-consuming business trips."

Distance learning

As Learning Manager Clare Gittings points out: "This enables us to reach many pupils and students who may not have the opportunity to visit the gallery. The technology has made it possible to generate greater awareness of our national collection."
