Collaborative Video Technologies (CVT) recently upgraded the videoconferencing equipment in Colgan Hall, Room 221 at the SciTech Campus. The user experience is improved in a variety of ways:
- Two additional monitors allow users to see the other remote locations and content (such as PowerPoint presentations or shared documents) in full screen.
- The room can now accommodate up to 10 participants
- Colgan Hall, Room 221 is now the first high-definition videoconferencing space with camera tracking. The camera tracks and focuses on whoever is speaking in the room and allows a more seamless and immersive experience.
This room has been a popular space at SciTech for staff meetings that cross multiple Mason campuses, Human Resources and Payroll training sessions, interviewing remote candidates, and university-wide town halls. Students and faculty have also used this room for research collaboration, dissertation defenses, and classes taught between SciTech and Fairfax, as well as with other universities.
