VIDEO CONFERENCING

               

              Assalamualaikum to all. While writing this entry, I still remember 4 years back when I was doing the video conferencing for my final year project. In order to finish my study, I have to do a final year project in collaboration with students in France, since that I am doing French language for my degree. 

         The project require me and my friends to produce a product that can be used in France, and at thaty time we have decided to produce a 2 in 1 coat. Lets check the video below that tells about the manteau (coat). 

           So, how was the video? I hope its interesting and you will enjoy it. We have to create a video in order to promote our product, and we must published the video on Youtube. Okay, now we get back to our topic which is about video conferencing. 

     According to Wikipedia, Video conferencing (VC) is the conduct of a video conference (also known as a video conference or video teleconference) by a set of telecommunication technologies which allow two or more locations to communicate by simultaneous two-way video and audio transmissions. It has also been called 'visual collaboration' and is a type of group ware.

       Video conferencing differs from videophone calls in that it's designed to serve a conference or multiple locations rather than individuals. It is an intermediate form of video-telephony, first used commercially in Germany during the late-1930s and later in the United States during the early 1970s as part of AT&T's development of Picture phone technology. Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), the place where I did my degree, has a special unit called IDEC that handle about video conferencing and any other IT matters. 

             In order to do the video conferencing,  we have to go to IDEC and when we reached there, we have to wait for our turn before we enter the room and start the video conferencing. The image below show how the video conferencing works and the toolscan that connected to each other in order to make sure the video conferencing can be done.

           In the room where we did the video conferencing, there are microphone, a big screen to see the person we want to talk to, and also a camera. The room is quite big. The conversation is really similar to the Skype conversation, which is one of social media site that allow us to have a video conversation with our friends. But the difference is, when we have a conversation through Skype, sometimes the video is not smooth and sometimes it seems to be a delayed while viewing the video. Compared to the video conference that we did 4 years back, it was really amazing, and we can see clearly the person that we conversed with, and it was like a face to face conversation, not through the video. The video was very clear, run smoothly, the conversation was going smoothly without any problem. Its an awesome experience for me and my course mates. We were really enjoyed the day! Thank you so much to you TECHNOLOGY! Merci beaucoup!!
