The world's first immersive always-on video conferencing portal outdoor artwork uniting cities across the world by extending physical space. A not-for-profit project partnered with the Benediktas Gylys Foundation.
thanks @rrhoover we actually launched Video Window Remote (for free) on PH in August https://www.producthunt.com/post... but yes, we'd love to build a remote version of this circular form factor too if there is a market for it ;)
Overcoming the significant challenges of travel, time zones and language, Video Window is reaching across borders to power pOrtal, a one-of-a-kind 11-ton outdoor video art installation designed to unite people across time and space, thanks to a new partnership with the Benediktas Gylys Foundation.
Video Window, the first immersive always-on video conferencing portal that extends physical space for inter-office and remote workers, powers pOrtal’s 24x7 connection between residents of two European cities, who can see and interact with each other via a live broadcast.
Collaboration Squared, makers of Video Window, and the Benediktas Gylys Foundation are expanding this innovative vision with a new corporate sponsorship program which will enable this ground-breaking technology to expand and diversify to more cities, museums, galleries and cultural organizations worldwide. Bridging geographical divides and helping unify humanity by building a network of virtual bridges across cities, countries and continents.
With our shared vision of improving human connection, we are working with pOrtal to unite people by powering the technology and developing enterprise partnerships with organizations that share this transformative vision. We have one single aim: to help people everywhere feel connected.
Video Window has been successful in uniting the hybrid office, removing physical boundaries and helping remote workers stay in touch. Now, we get to use our technology to touch the hearts and minds of people in new ways across the globe.
Conceived to foster unity rather than separation, without borders, prejudices or labels, the non-profit pOrtal project allows participants to communicate through body language and expression – seemingly teleporting themselves to another location.
BBC News recently showcased pOrtal in a feature that has notched more than 1.7 million views.
The new sponsorship program will give pioneering organizations the opportunity to grow branding opportunities while genuinely giving back. They will also receive Video Window licenses for their organization to support hybrid working for their employees and support global connection, rather than division, something we all need right now.
