Linking Command/Control/Operation centers to important events in real time is exactly the defense product initiative of DVE. Unlike videoconferencing from a generation ago, True Telepresence, incorporating DVE’s patented technologies, is essential for current defense and security visual communication needs. DVE’s Total Telepresence Solution enables a realistic and natural experience that cannot be matched by common videoconferencing. Life-size images appearing in a situation or briefing room with perfect eye contact and broadcast-quality video is the hallmark of DVE’s deployments. DVE has also developed the “Tactical Telepresence Communicator” which is a mobile satellite-based unit enabling True Telepresence anywhere in the world no matter how remote. The Tactical Telepresence Communicator is ideal for field communications including briefings, situational awareness, and remote interrogations. The ruggedized system can withstand the harsh environments typical to remote operations. The system includes the very latest in encryption technology to ensure the protection of sensitive information.

Legacy conferencing systems are now used by all branches of the government, including the executive branch. These systems are now outdated, whether they are videophones or group conferencing systems, and should be upgraded to True Telepresence. DVE’s True Telepresence is as good as being there according to many testimonials of satisfied users. With that in mind, there is a solution now for governments to decentralize for security purposes and to increase productivity. Though these goals are long-term, many government planners, security experts, and strategists are making recommendations for the next generation of two-way video communication to revolutionize the way government is done. DVE is at the forefront of these monumental changes in the way people have structured their organizations and governments.

Healthcare Telepresence:
It is crucial for doctors making life and death decisions to be able to accurately understand patients. Likewise, patients need to know that their doctor understands them and has genuine concern for their well-being. How can any of this happen if the doctor cannot make eye contact? How can any of this happen when the doctor or patient appears to be a little image on a videophone? Why compromise? Why allow legacy videoconferencing to present people looking and appearing their worse…psychologically disengaged. True Telepresence is the answer and it is the right choice for all the two-way video communication needs of the healthcare segment. Here are just several of the many applications for DVE’s True Telepresence solutions for healthcare:

• Remote Surgery
• Remote Diagnostics
• Specialist visitations to rural areas
• Central hospital extension to remote medical centers
• Doctor training programs
• Pharmaceutical and medical device manufacture’s corporate communications
• Many more

Distance Learning Telepresence:
DVE’s advanced technologies are far superior to traditional videoconferencing for distance learning. DVE’s Total Telepresence Solution for distance learning offers unique products to achieve the absolute realism of being there in-person even though there is a thousand miles of separation. Every aspect of distance learning has been carefully analyzed and thought through by DVE. Whether it is for K-12 or higher education, DVE’s solutions enable distance learning to reach its promise of truly connecting a virtual campus with all the human benefits of being there in-person .

One successful case study is an elementary school in Utah that has deployed DVE’s Total Telepresence Solution. In need of improving teacher performance with expert mentoring, DVE offered a Telepresence experience with remote expert mentor teachers in other regions. The mentor teachers are able to communicate in private meetings with the local school teachers via the Executive Telepresence System to review the teacher’s performance and to offer positive feedback and guidance. The expert mentors also have the ability to observe the local school teachers in action to review in real-time their teaching skills with the aid of DVE’s advanced robotic camera tracking system -- the DVE Virtual Observer. Still further the expert mentor can show the local school teachers how to teach kids with new teaching methods by actually teaching the local class in real-time via the DVE Telepresence Podium, effectively enabling a virtual mentor teacher in the classroom.

Whatever the distance learning need, DVE’s distance learning solutions are the most effective way to expand education and teacher development beyond the school grounds and campus and connect it to the resources available around the globe.

For higher education, DVE is pioneering the Telepresence University where both undergraduate and graduate education programs incorporate the convenience of distance education with all the social benefits of in-person interaction with classmates and teachers. The Telepresence University is revolutionary and is available with complete endpoint and network turnkey solutions for participating universities. For example, a Telepresence MBA program will enable professionals to be mentored by leading business people even though they are separated by thousands of miles. Without a doubt this will prove to be the most effective MBA professional development education combining both theory and real world camaraderie with professors and business leaders no matter where they are in the world.

Business Telepresence:
DVE’s Total Telepresence Solution offers corporate communications a whole range of choices that best meets the needs of the organization. So often legacy videoconferencing systems end up as the ugly TV cart gathering dust in the corner of the room. Some corporations have given legacy systems a real try, but eventually begin complaining of the lack of real interpersonal connection. DVE offers a complete line of turnkey solutions. For the executive, DVE’s Telepresence desktop keeps executives connected and ready to respond. In the group meeting room, DVE has developed several solutions that offer superior human factors and the appearance that the people at the distant site are sitting on the other side of the table with perfect eye contact. DVE goes out of its way to satisfy a client’s request and is always willing to create a solution that best fits their needs.

For example, a large financial firm in Downtown Manhattan desired to build out for its executives the most sophisticated conferencing facility ever developed. DVE stepped up to the plate with both project consulting and custom product solutions. On one end of the Atlantic in London are four executives and in Manhattan are 21 executives. DVE designed all the human factor geometry, immersive display screens, and multiple camera arrays. The result: many life-size people appearing to sit around a large conference table. Still further, other rooms incorporate the same technology with true eye contact for smaller group interactions. No matter your business communication needs, DVE has the right solution…a True Telepresence Solution that is turnkey for your application. We are here to help the client look his or her best on camera and off camera.
