Microsoft announced a high-def camera for videoconferencing at VoiceCon in Orlando this week. The $300 camera is being developed with Tandberg. The camera will be used with telepresence technology - something that can make it appear as though people in different locations are in the same room.

“We are committed to investing in innovation that will extend access of high-definition video communications to the individual user at the desktop,” said Fredrik Halvorsen, CEO of TANDBERG. “This ground-breaking initiative reinforces our strong relationship with Microsoft and our commitment to unified communications.”

The video system will be interoperable with Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007.

“We believe that Microsoft has a strong position in the unified communications market,” added Halvorsen, “and we are making ongoing investments in Microsoft Office Communication Server development to ensure that we are well placed to realize the benefits.”
