The HPL is pleased to release the first in a series of interviews covering the emerging telepresence industry for our upcoming multimedia publication, Telepresence Options 2008. We sat down with Polycom Chairman and CEO Bob Hagerty in San Diego to talk about Polycom's telepresence offering: The Polycom RPX, backwards compatibility with traditional videoconferencing, and where telepresence is heading at Polycom.

Frequent visitors to the Lab will notice that, through a partnership with our friends at TechnologyEvangelist.com, we have substantially improved our video production quality. We are now shooting in HD and distributing in HD as well. Just another of the never ending and continuous improvement that you can expect from the Human Productivity Lab. Enjoy the video below:
