Desktop Video Conference
Abstract:
Desktop Video Conference is simply a method for people in two or more locations to not only talk with one another, but to see each other and exchange information. Desktop Video Conference is an emerging technology of video-conferencing that uses a standard personal computer which has been enhanced with special video processing capabilities and a small camera. This technology is employed by a broad spectrum of users to facilitate cost effective communication with key individuals or groups regardless of their geographic location. Ideally, participants have an experience similar to watching and listening to one another on TV, with the added ability to interact, or 'talk back'.
Until recently, most Desktop Video Conference was done with room videoconferencing systems, which require very sophisticated and expensive equipment to provide high-quality sound and video. Desktop Video Conference is less expensive and requires personal computer.
This Project can be used in our college for various meetings that includes all the department heads in our college. It is also useful for principal to talk with various staff members and with the management and get the things done at a faster rate. It is also useful to deliver online project guidance to the students etc.
The primary use of Desktop Video Conference is to allow the timely exchange of information without traveling. There is no need for various persons to meet at a common place to make their conference. Most meetings that are held face-to face can be held by video-conferencing. Desktop Video Conference is useful in situations of crisis management, or times when meetings are held on short notice.
