Script NEW TECHNOLOGY COULD HELP COMPANIES CUT THEIR TRAVEL BUDGETS.. WITH FACE TO FACE INTERACTION.. OVER A BEAM OF LIGHT. NBC-3 TECHNOLOGY REPORTER SCOTT MCGREW SHOWS US HOW IT WORKS. (TAKE PKG) THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF TALK LATELY ABOUT TELECONFERENCING. COMPANIES HIT BUDGET CUTS AND TERRORISM FEARS HAVE GIVEN THE INDUSTRY A REAL BOOST. BUT ULTIMATELY.. MOST PEOPLE FIND THIS SORT OF TELECONFERENCING LACKING. SMALL SCREENS.. AND THE LACK OF EYE CONTACT MAKE MEETINGS SEEM COLD. (SOT- MacDonald "with teleportation technology, we do away with all that.. we're coming to you live.. life size.. 3d with eye contact.") THEY CALL THIS DEVICE "TELEPORTEC." IT'S NOT NEW TECHNOLOGY SO MUCH AS IT IS CLEVER SMOKE AND MIRRORS. WELL.. MOSTLY MIRRORS. A WRAP AROUND GLASS PROJECTION SYSTEM THAT MAKES THIS MAN.. WHO'S REALLY IN DALLAS.. LOOK AS IF HE'S STANDING AT A PODIUM IN MOUNTAIN VIEW. IT'S THE SAME HEADS UP DISPLAY TECHNOLOGY THE AIR FORCE USES TO DISPLAY DATA TO ITS PILOTS. (STAND UP- "In the first few minutes it feels strange, but after awhile, you fell like you could reach in a give him a handshake.") (SOT- MacDonald "a lot of people report that same experience at first. They're freaked out by it but a few minutes go by and they're into the groove.") (SOT- MacDonald "This is a large prototype unit.. the amazing thing is technology chances every day.. who knows what we will see on your desk tomorrow.") IN FACT.. THEY ARE INDEED WORKING ON A CHAIR SIZED MODEL.. MEANING EVEN THE AUDIENCE COULD.. SOME DAY.. SHOW UP WITHOUT LEAVING HOME. IN MOUNTAIN VIEW SCOTT MCGREW NBC 3 NEWS. RECAP
