testimonial

‘IRIS came about from our own needs. As product developers we have many customers abroad. We wanted to spend our time more efficiently and this led to a web conference program with webcam integration. Nevertheless, we still missed the feeling of having real contact.

We missed the eye contact; it came down to that because you always look past each other with a webcam. There were no good products to affect online eye contact on the market yet. They were too expensive and the receiver always needed special equipment. We of course could not demand this from our customers. As product developers we developed a tool ourselves, the IRIS.

We have acquired demonstrably more prospects and our travel costs have decreased considerably since the introduction of a desktop sharing program with the IRIS which we developed. The IRIS is also an indispensable tool for after sales. ‘

 'Even before using the Iris2iris as a communications device, I found it really useful as a second monitor. It sits quite high on its stand and was easy to glance at next to my regular laptop. I could put my work email on the screen then easily keep an eye on it as I worked on my main screen. But where Iris2Iris worked best (as you might expect) was on Skype calls.'

'To take the best advantage of Iris2Iris you'd need two units: one for you to benefit the person you're speaking to, and one for the other person for your benefit, but even with just one I found Iris2iris to be a really easy way to have video chats -- the dedicated monitor and built-in mic/speakers made starting up video conversations over Skype even easier. And Iris2iris's usage isn't limited to Skype--I could also see it working well for video bloggers and news readers -- using teleprompter software, you could be looking right at the camera while reading a script.'

'The people I spoke to said I sounded great (without any echo) and looked great because they could see my eyes looking directly at them.'

 Reaction from the jury after winning the "Product Innovation Award" from the Channel Xcellence Awards.

Interestingly, the participation of iris2iris. As a spin-off of a machine in Twente, the company provides video conferencing equipment, which can be positioned between the simple and full webcam conferencing solutions. However, the unique aspect is that innovation through a mirror arrangement is always 100% eye contact is achieved. This creates a real face to face experience with the impact of mimicry is maintained. Furthermore, travel time and carbon footprint reduction, and traffic jams can be avoided. Iris2iris supplies the equipment (integrated setup with monitor, camera, microphone and speakers) and associated drivers directly to the final customer. Although iris2iris with its product is not classified as a channel partner, the jury found the place to appreciate the firm with the 'Product Innovation Price'
