For Primerica rep Chuck Wilder, VSee allows him to quickly get information out to his team who are located all over the state and to stay connected to his mentor an hour and a half away.  He finds VSee’s video conferencing and document sharing powerful features for when you’re trying to develop a team and build a business. “It’s easily a 10% improvement to what we were doing previously just because of the confidence level of not having to delay appointments so we can have it checked and reviewed by our trainers,” he explains.

The best part is VSee isn’t a tool just for Primerica representatives.  It’s a great tool for any virtual team that needs to get creative work done together. It’s also perfect for students to do group work or cross university research and for families who want to stay connected to their loved ones.

Is Cisco Umi Worth Rescuing?

Last week, video conferencing startup Tely Labs announced its “Rescue Umi” program as Cisco prepares to permanently end Umi services January 31. It’s an opportunity for Umi users to snag a good deal switching to Tely Labs’ similar telyHD offering. The marketing point of Umi and now telyHD is video conferencing on your HDTV without a PC — that is, telepresence right out of a box.

What killed Umi was its brow-raising price tag ($600) and ongoing subscription costs ($24.99 per month). This didn’t go over well with consumers, especially with cheaper, good quality, software-based video conferencing services popping up left and right. (Here are our reviews for a bunch of popular and alternative video conferencing services.)

TelyHD is trying not to make the same pricing mistake as Umi, but can such hardware approach make it in the end? The core VSee hypothesis is that video is only half the story; the other half is rich screen share that allows sharing photos, documents, slides, forms, etc. After all, this is how we work in real life. So even though VSee has great video, the VSee team is constantly thinking beyond just video  :)

Nintendo Uses VSee To Remotely Animate Super Mario

VSee & Nintendo Super Mario AnimationVSee is making it possible for fans of the uber successful Nintendo Super Mario Bros. video game to have a live conversation with Mario himself down at the New York Rockefeller Center!

This longtime Nintendo project combines VSee with remote control of the animated Mario character. VSee gives the animator behind “Mario” the ability to hear, see, and talk with the audience. Meanwhile, Nintendo has created the animation and joystick control that allows the animator to remotely control Mario’s movements and expressions for a highly interactive and engaging experience.

Here’s a video of Mario in action, chatting away with “Princess Kiki” and “Princess Maritza” and showing off his famous flips and punches at the Nintendo World Store in New York.
