Haeden Bridge’s TOMMS, visual communication solution which supports large scale video conference and real-time corporate learning was awarded a grand prize for New Software Nov./Dec. 2015.
TOMMS is a two-way real-time multimedia system, featuring patent-technology such as multicast tunneling and video mixing technologies. Domestic banks with more than 1,000 branches and government offices are using TOMMS. It can provide education and seminar to a few thousands of remote user PCs.
Using 3D depth camera, TOMMS implemented VR(Virtual Reality) interaction with video conferencing. This helps to make participants not only concentrate more on conferencing but experience immersive conferencing. It does not require any physical space with chromakey screen in the background. Haeden Bridge used this technology for school mentoring service. Virtual reality interaction like TOMMS does has spread to industries. It is being spread to medical, disaster planning, military and entertainment fields.
By adopting two-way multicast tunneling technology, visual communication can reduce a large amount of bandwidth usage. TOMMS has the capability of holding massive video conferencing, including maximum 1,000 user connections and 60 user videos from PC, Android and iOS devices in a single session. It also gives corporate scalability and economic feasibility by providing connection with hardware conferencing codec.
Currently TOMMS is entering Japan, China, India and the United Arab Emirates markets and plan to extend to USA and EU.
