Teleplace, Intel Collaborate on Enhanced Virtual Workspace Product

INTEL DEVELOPER FORUM, SAN FRANCISCO – Sept. 20, 2007 – Miramar, a 3-D information space technology originally developed by Intel Corporation's research labs, will be brought to market by [Teleplace] Inc., the secure virtual workspace company.

The agreement between the companies announced today at the Intel Developer Forum enables a new desktop visualization edition of [Teleplace] that will integrate 2-D desktop applications and shared 3-D information workspaces for large numbers of users to easily visualize and manipulate enterprise information. [Teleplace] and Intel plan to work together to integrate Miramar technology into this new cross-platform edition of [Teleplace], which is expected be available next year. Justin Rattner, Intel Senior Fellow and director, Corporate Technology Group and Intel chief technology officer, demonstrated these new technologies today in his keynote on the future of virtual worlds.

"Early adopters at Intel are currently using [Teleplace] to improve their teamwork.The combination of Miramar and [Teleplace] will enable information, which is now only available to individual departments or divisions, to be easily accessed and shared across the enterprise, in dynamic unified views," said Rattner. "Intel envisions using the desktop visualization edition of [Teleplace] to dramatically enhance the productivity of our global distributed workforce."

Originally developed by Intel Architecture Labs, Miramar was designed to increase the productivity of distributed enterprises by enabling new information visualization capabilities across distributed teams. The Miramar technology leverages immersive 3-D environments and enables users to transition seamlessly among virtual environments and traditional 2-D desktop applications.

[Teleplace], released earlier this year, significantly enhances the productivity of distributed teams by bringing critical resources together in a virtual place, as if they were in the same physical location, and providing them with all the tools and collaboration capabilities they need to work more effectively together. With [Teleplace], users can collectively establish workflow steps, create or review information in software applications, and evaluate designs in 2-D and 3-D, all while discussing topics using built-in text and voice chat. [Teleplace] virtual workspaces are always available so users can return to a forum at any time to access and view changes that have occurred since they last visited the virtual space.

"Virtual workspaces have already proven their value for enterprise collaboration," said Greg Nuyens, [Teleplace] chief executive officer. "The desktop visualization edition of [Teleplace] provides distributed enterprises with a powerful new way to visualize and share information globally. Intel's selection of [Teleplace] to be the delivery platform for its Miramar technology is further recognition of the strength of our architecture and our approach to enterprise collaboration."
