CES: Motorola OJO Video Phone
Posted by James Fee in "HARDWARE" @ 03:00 PM
"The Motorola Ojo Personal Videophone (Model PVP1000) transmits full-motion video (30fps) with synchronized audio over a high-speed Internet connection. No Setup: Motorola Ojo easily connects to your high-speed Internet and telephone lines and is immediately ready to send or receive calls. The elevated (eye-level), portrait-oriented LCD digital display (7”diagonal) and camera placement create an experience that is natural. During calls, the display features a small self-viewer, to see how you are positioned in front of the camera. The integrated cordless handset can be used to make voice-only calls using either the public service telephone network (PSTN) or a voice-over-IP (VoIP) network. For video calls, Motorola Ojo uses optimization of the advanced MPEG-4 coding standard (H.264), which enables transmission of 30 frames-per-second video with synchronized audio at data rates as low as 110 Kbps."
VoIP is the hot tech industry these days and the natural progression is video-over-IP. Is this the killer application that will make VoIP phones take off, or will this round of video phones die off just like all the previous attempts.
