The numerous possible techniques of interaction that are rapidly coming up in this age of science have made it possible for us to communicate very easily in situations where people are far away from each other. While the telephones have been around for a long time, they do not provide the advantage of seeing the person face to face. They aid in only hearing from people who are at a distant place. Teleconferencing or that which is also called as video conferencing is the new tool of the age of technology and science. Let us understand this term more closely.

The technique of video conferencing makes use of the technology of telecommunication to enable people at two geographically distant points to interact with each other. There are video as well as audio transmitters with the help of which each user can see and hear the other person at the same time. It is often dubbed as visual collaboration by some people. Unlike videophones, video conference serves both personal as well as group purposes and is largely used in big corporate houses and firms. It is a field which involves a lot of progress and continuous updating in order to keep up with the latest trends.
