Santa, in case you needed some ideas….

This video collaboration technology from HP makes holding meetings in Second Life seem so 1982. Named “Halo” (works for me, because it does appear to be heaven-sent), the technology allows people in different locations to see each other (life-size) and communicate in real time. Used in the making of Shrek, here’s what they have to say about it: “With the Halo video collaboration solution, an animation team sitting in a Halo room in Redwood City can meet with a team sitting in another Halo room in Glendale, as if they are all sitting around the same conference table. As part of this striking visual effect, images appearing on the video screen in front of participants in both locations are sharp and full size, creating an experience that is both virtual and natural.” Yours for only $500k x2, plus $18k per month. Where do I sign?
