Activision Uses LifeSize to Develop New Games
AUSTIN, Texas--(Business Wire)--
LifeSize Communications, the global leader in high definition
video communications, will showcase products and customers next week
at Interop in Las Vegas.
"We are delighted and honored to have Thomas Fenady of Activision
(NASDAQ:ATVI), one of our most innovative customers, speaking about
his experience with LifeSize products," said Craig Malloy, CEO of
LifeSize. "He will discuss how Activision uses LifeSize HD video
products to link international developers to speed production of
popular video games like Guitar Hero, Call of Duty 4 and Tony Hawk's
Proving Ground."
Activision's Thomas Fenady can be seen at two venues at Interop.
The first session will take place Tuesday, April 29, from 3:15 pm -
4:00 pm. This complimentary session is part of the Enterprise 2.0
Technology Conference and will feature Fenady presenting a case study
and discussing how Activision uses HD video to link international
developers to create next-generation games, reduce travel and
accelerate their business cycle. Also on hand will be Peter Brockmann,
President of Brockmann & Company, a high-tech marketing consulting
company. Brockmann is a frequent writer and presenter on issues in
communications and business technologies and offers unique insights
into how communications and computing technologies change business and
change our lives. This session is open to all attendees - "exhibition
only" passholders welcome.
Fenady can also be seen at a panel session hosted by Melanie
Turek, Principal Analyst, Frost & Sullivan on Wednesday, April 30,
from 3:45 pm - 4:45 pm. This conference session, entitled, "What You
Need to Know about TelePresence and High Definition Video," addresses
the question, "How does the introduction of high definition and fully
immersive environments change the video conferencing landscape?" This
session explores the latest developments in video conferencing tools
and provides the detailed 3rd party analysis needed to weigh the pros
and cons of high definition video and telepresence and determine their
suitability in your business. An Interop conference pass is required
for this session.

Another highlight of the show will be the new LifeSize(R)
Focus(TM) integrated HD camera and microphone array, now available
with the award-winning LifeSize(R) Express(TM). Together, LifeSize
Express and LifeSize Focus create the world's first high definition
video communication system with a retail price below $5000, delivering
an immersive, high definition telepresence experience over existing
broadband networks. Sleek, powerful and easy to use, LifeSize(R)
Express with Focus can bring telepresence to any room.
"Seeing is believing - nothing can convey the experience of high
definition video like experiencing an actual video call," said Malloy.
"Many companies have static equipment displays or splashy booth
graphics, but our high definition video products are the star of our
show with live links to our company headquarters in Austin and other
locations around the world. We encourage conference attendees to stop
by our booth so they can experience telepresence for themselves."
Compact, simple and elegant, LifeSize Focus features a high
definition video camera that delivers full HD 1280x720 video at 30
frames per second. Built to operate in any office or conference room
environment, the camera delivers outstanding image quality in a wide
range of light conditions. An integrated two-microphone array with
patented beam-forming technology provides excellent sound quality. By
integrating the microphone array in the camera housing, LifeSize Focus
saves space and eliminates clutter.
Interop Las Vegas will take place at the Mandalay Bay Convention
Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, colocated with Software 2008 and CSI SX:
Security Exchange Conference. LifeSize products will be on display in
booth #1651, with live high definition video links to remote
