Real Telepresence


Humans are the only creatures that tend to track time during their existence in life. With time being very limited due to the increase of work load traffic in working hours. Most of them are not able to manage time in a more efficient way. However, with the introduction of the 21st century technology of what we called as 'Real Telepresence' has changed the way how business meetings are conducted. In the past, business meetings were organized under tight and time limited schedule; with the introduction of this technology, it saves business partners a whole lot of time by conducting these meetings without having the hassle to plan ahead.




Telepresence is the use of various technology to make a person feel present in a room or premise, to give the feeling of being present or to have an effect via telerobotics at an other place than their true location. 'Real Telepresence' combines virtual reality holograms with high quality voice and video to make users feel as real life as possible. It grants these virtual reality meetings to be as immersive as possible using Polycom Immersive Telepresence Solution.

Virtual Grocery Shopping: QR-Code shopping

With the ever growing economy of the countries around the world, people are working as hard as they could to keep up with society's living standards. People have grown busier these days and most of them are unable to fork out time to even buy their own groceries.

Tesco has set up virtual grocery stores in subways and trains commuters for the busy working people to do their grocery while walking to work. According to Tesco, Korea has one of the busiest and hardworking people, therefore, taking an hour for a week for grocery shopping can be a real drag.

Tesco has set up plastered walls along the walkways of subways, and these walls are lined up with products containing a special QR code specifically for each product. All the shopped has to do is download an application to scan the QR code and will be directed a payment section and once he/she had paid, the groceries will be sent to their home. It is a big advantage to have your groceries delivered to your door in big cities where driving isn't a good option. It also saves the shopper's time for needing to go to a shopping market to single-handedly pick out their grocery items.

However, a downside for this virtual shopping is that shoppers are unable to see the product's information, shoppers can turn the product around to see it's nutritional facts. The consumers are also unable to tell the expiry date of a product, they can only take what the shop has given them. It is a small price to pay for the convenience.

The Hive

This blog is dedicated to all the working bees out there who we believe need technologies to make daily lives easier not necessarily faster. People are always on the go, major parts of the world are always out and about, just like bees. You see, every worker bee is important to the hive, every hive is important to nature, nature is important to us humans, like oxygen. We just can't live without bees. Without these mother nature's little helpers working their hardest everyday, we won't exist for long. With that in mind, think of the working bees who clock in and out everyday daily to fulfill their jobs and tasks because it may seem like it is small and unimportant to some but what they are doing makes a whole lot of difference to their company or their "hive" as well as the society. Same goes to bees, they are small but they do a whole lot without us realizing it.
