teleconferencing setup, not software.

IIRC, they paid an artist $18k (many years ago, when that was "real money") to create a large oval table in two halves. One half is in The Tower at the US headquarters. The other is in Japan.

The table halves face a blank wall. The entire wall serves as the canvas for projecting the teleconference.

So, you are literally sitting face to face across the same table with people a continent and ocean away, separated by something like a 17 hour time difference, yet it is like they are in the same room.

I have been in the conference room, but never participated in nor seen the conferencing happen. The description is like something out of a futuristic movie and it leaves me agog that the company has apparently never waxed eloquent about it anywhere, though perhaps it is part of their "secret sauce."
