Who needs fancy holograms when you have a teleprompter?
We’ve known Project Ghost has been coming since January, although we’ve been hesitant to pay it much heed until now given its status as a concept. Having finally tried it ourselves, though, the thing seems to have cracked the code that competitors like the $20,000 Cisco Telepresence kits haven’t. It successfully fills a “good enough” niche that’s been left surprisingly vacant until now.
The Ghost is about the size of a small huddle room, and the idea is that a company could affordably plop one into an otherwise unused part of its floor space. Employees could take calls with other offices or remote workers by simply walking into it. That said, you’re not going to plop the half-bath-sized Ghost into your personal office quite yet. But that doesn’t mean remote workers won’t get some use out of it.
The rep showed up so clearly and so focused on me that I remarked that she almost looked 3D, despite the booth having no 3D effect to it. Specific facial features seemed to have depth, which might have simply been an aftereffect of the pure black background and the eye contact causing me to feel closer to her.
