VISNETI II Industry Day Agenda
Two sessions took place, each dedicated
to an individual scenario (Video Surveillance and
Virtual Collaboration).
Each session was shaped around an invited speech of
a representative from the industry working in the
field, a final presentation of the related technologies
being developed within VISNET II, and a panel session
involving people from VISNET II and the industry.
The following topics were covered: technological state
of the art, future market needs, dissemination of
innovative technologies and assessment of their exploitation
potentials.
