Situation:
Architect firm is designing a building
They
want to show the blue prints to the client, without
having to have all the people fly into one location...
Saving time and money from having to fly 3 clients into
the main design firms office.
They
held this meeting twice a week during the design phase
using the www.321Cam.com
service.
-
Main
Architect Office:
-
Put
a wireless webcam in the meeting room, facing a white
board (magic marker, dry eraser type).
-
This
wireless webcam transmitted the signal from that
meeting room to the computer in another office
-
The
computer in that office is connected to the internet
(referred to as the "Broadcaster")
-
The signal
to the internet was password protected
-
Password
protection is a free option that you can use, or not
(it's up to you)
-
Change
the password anytime you want
-
-
Client
#1
marketing manager stayed in her "home
office" and went to the website to view the
meeting
-
-
Client
#2
ad agency also went to the website to view the same
meeting
-
-
Client
#3
Senior Executive stayed in his office to view the
meeting
-
-
Each
of these clients was assigned a different color.
-
When
they wanted to make changes to the design of the new
building, all they had to do is use the paint/draw
feature and make their notes on the screen on their
computer, which is a live image of the meeting room in
the architects firm’s office
-
-
Each
of these three clients and the architect firm also
used chat, which is just like instant messenger.
-
-
The
meeting room that had the webcam is called the
"broadcaster"
-
The
meeting room also had a speaker telephone turned on
-
Then
all of the clients dialed a special telephone number which
allowed all of them to talk and listen in on the
meeting
If
you password protect your own webcam (referred to as the
Broadcaster), no one else will see it unless you tell him
or her the password. Great for business meetings,
and also when young kids are communicating with their
friends or grandparents...
