NEC’s Nave – is a unique concept for a visual communication device meant to replace web cameras and video phones for conference calling. A 360 degree camera sends a hemispherical shot of callers’ faces visible on the other group’s Nave. NEC describes this futuristic, odd-looking device as a terminal that “enables showing of the surrounding atmosphere and group-to-group communication with a round display and a central super-wide-angle camera”.
No information on when we should expect the Nave to become commercially available or what its price range will be.
