Seamless Collaboration with Hewlett Packard Halo Studios
Castro Valley, CA April 29, 2006 --
|
Thorburn Associates, Inc (TA) has
been retained by Hewlett Packard to develop the acoustical design for the Halo
Room at the Cupertino, California Executive Briefing Center. The Center, like its
twin in Houston, Texas, will be equipped with video conferencing capability unlike
any previously conceived. The overhead high-resolution, high-magnification zoom
camera can share the tiniest detail with colleagues across the world. The video
images are instant; the audio has no delay. Designs for privacy glass walls
complete the project. The glass is electrically charged to look clear until, with a flip
of a switch, the glass plates turn opaque. The opaque glass provides privacy; at the
same time, the people inside are not distracted by outside movement.
Halo studios can be decorated with similar furniture so it even looks like an
extension of the conference table. The studios are demonstrated at Hewlett
Packard's briefing centers because this level of technology must be seen to be
believed. Bringing people from separate locations together for collaboration without
travel---the future is here!
To date, TA has completed more than 85 projects for Hewlett Packard in various
venues. |
