Virtex Announces New Four Screen Web Conferencing Service

LONDON, December 7/PRNewswire/ --

- Service Helps to Cut Out Wasted Business Travel Time to Provide Greater
Productivity and Better Leisure Time.



UK based Virtex International today introduced their four-screen version
of the Virtex C3 web conferencing, webinar and collaboration service. The new
system addresses frustrations associated with business travel to meetings,
conferences, seminars and customer meetings, whether by air, road or rail.
Virtex is a pioneer of next generation, online, three-dimensional virtual
exhibitions.



Steve Martin, CEO, well understands the problems of business travel. "I
travelled a lot each year for meetings with clients and attendance at
seminars and conferences. Often, I found I only wanted to attend some, not
all, of the sessions at conferences. And, when I visited clients, I might
have four or five hours of travel time for a one hour meeting. I calculated I
could give myself an extra 35 days a year by cutting out wasted excess
travel."



The C3 utilizes four screens for interactive face-to-face video and
integrated VOIP audio, permitting users to see and hear each other without
having to use the telephone. Possible interactions range from a small group
of two or three people to webcasts and conferences with thousands of
participants, providing flexibility and convenience for all parties involved.



"With our new four-screen service, you can feel you're having a real
face-to-face online meeting," explains Martin. "That will be an even greater
incentive to cut out wasteful travel time. Both an individual's productivity
and their job satisfaction can soar - and I feel sure they'll gain much more
satisfying leisure time. That's good for them and good for their companies."



The hosted service, easily used from a PC or notebook, includes features
such as PowerPoint or Flash slide shows, whiteboard, feedback polling,
sharing files and documents, streaming video presentations and interactive
chat. Charges are now only 8p per user minute, with discounted rates
available to volume users.
