VGo is a new solution previously unseen in the workplace. It’s the result of more than two years of product development and more than a year of customer trials and partner evaluations.
VGo enables you to be present and mobile in and throughout a distant location. You can see, hear, talk, interact, and move around just as if you were there. With VGo, you can go anywhere.
VGo is not a videoconferencing/telepresence solution. With a videoconference, two or more people are meeting through TV monitors or PCs where people on both sides of the call must be sitting there in front the camera.
With VGo, a person is completely independent of the people in the remote location. You don’t make a call – you just go there – your presence is established remotely via VGo’s physical presence. VGo’s remote controlled mobility and physical presence makes it something totally new.
Applications
Bring your expertise to the problem area, see how things are progressing in the lab, greet your prospective clients, visit an aging parent. Learn what VGo can do for you.
Remote Project Management
VGos are being used today by remote project managers and by remote project team members to: stay connected with distant team members, to engage in processes and to keep visually involved in the project.VGo enables project managers to be with the project team or visit the project area even when they are out of the office. Development labs, prototyping shops, brainstorming areas, creative departments, new infrastructure installations, clean rooms, manufacturing floors and more are now accessible remotely. Distant team members can telecommute using VGo – their physical presence enables them to stay connected with the project and VGo’s mobility strengthens co-worker interaction by facilitating more ad hoc communications.
For contracted projects, VGo can be placed on site to enable remote experts or senior project managers to be available as required. This enables more efficient use of a valuable resources time and also expands the effectiveness of the less skilled team members by giving them instant supervision and coaching.
Remote Executive
VGo’s are being used today by executive managers and small business proprietors whose productivity and attention to detail contribute to the success of their businesses. VGo enables managers to “be” in the most important place at the right time without the associated time, inconvenience and cost of travel.With VGo, managers can arrive on their own and move about a location as if they were there. They can visit many facilities in a single day. They tackle a customer or operational crisis instantly. They can see for themselves and assess the state of distant operations. They can provide the leadership that’s required to keep the business running smoothly, the employees motivated and messaging on target.
Remote Student
Note everyone is physically able to attend school. Disablity, extended illness, and accidents all can prevent students from getting a rich education. Special educators have been looking for ways to lower costs for educating homebound students. VGo has proven to be an effective too by enabling a student to indpendently attend school from a distance. They control their movements so they control who they are interacting with and where. And of course it's not just the classes it's also the interactions with friends and peers that are also part of the learning experience.VGo users have also identified these applications - contact us for more information.

Benefits
Be more productive, avoid travel costs and inconvenience, improve job satisfaction. Learn why you need VGo.VGo increases productivity
Attending to an organization’s challenges in-person is the most effective way to achieve high productivity. But managers, experts, engineers, trainers, etc cannot always be where they are needed. With VGo – now they can. VGo results in an organization’s increased productivity. Access to distant environments, not just conference rooms and offices, is now possible with VGo’s mobility. VGo’s unique physical presence encourages and increases personal interaction. Trials have demonstrated that a person using VGo commands more attention than even being there in person. With active presence, issues can be immediately addressed and decisions can be made faster. VGo reduces costs
The cost of travel continues to escalate – not just in airfare, hotel stays, and other travel costs but also the downtimes that accompany a plane, train or car trip. These costs can be avoided or reduced with VGo. VGo delivers convenience
VGo enables you to go to where you need to be – instantly. No planning a trip or scheduling someone else’s time. Even though you’re not there, you’re in control. React to issues immediately. See the problems for yourself when they arise. Vgo enables you to travel somewhere without the inconveniences of today’s physical modes of travel. VGo enhances employee satisfaction

Now with VGo, all of these issues disappear as you establish your personal presence into the actual local scene – resulting in a higher level of satisfaction in your job. In addition, VGo lets you circumvent the frustration associated with today’s travel requirements. Less down time, fewer hurdles to jump – more enjoyment.Industries
Lower cost healthcare, more efficient retail operations, increased sales efficiencies. Learn how VGo fits into your type of organization.Industries
VGo has applications in many types of organizations. Like any new technology, there are specific industries that adopt earlier as their needs are immediate and the benefits instantly recognizable.Large Enterprise
Applications abound in the large enterprise. Project mangement by remote managers, distant office visits by VIPs, greeting customers at the briefing center by account managers that can’t be there, lab work monitoring by project leaders, getting to the bottom of shipping delays by operations staff, and delivering training outside of the class room settings are just a few. Most large enterprises today have some form of videoconferencing/telepresence in conference rooms. VGo enables visual communications outside the conference room – now giving you coverage for all the other areas in your facilities.
Manufacturers’ performance is all about delivering required quality on time. VGo has been used to help diagnose issues by remote engineers anywhere on the production line and by operations managers to monitor progress. VGo has proven to be a great customer support tool since clients frequently want to check their products while in production at contract manufacturing locations.
Distance learning with videoconferencing has taken hold in education as institutions extend their reach to remote students and bring relevant guests into the classroom. VGo has been used successfully by travelling professors who don’t want to cancel or hand over to a TA, classes or office hours. Administrators who often must attend to duties off campus use VGo to stay in touch. It’s appliance design means instant deployment anywhere so no planning or handholding is required.
Two of the major challenges in healthcare today are availability of skilled resources and cost containment. Not enough trained healthcare professionals are available and the costs to deliver health services continue to rise. VGo helps to overcome the resource issues by making your experts available where they need to be. Examples include continuing medical education, senior care monitoring and telehealth. VGo can reduce costs by making staff more productive since they can travel across distances instantly – to the patient wing, to the lab, to the training center, to the eldercare facility, to the home – anywhere at the click of a button.
Small and medium businesses are often managed and grown with limited resources. Key employees can be responsible for multiple functional areas and time as well as capital is a precious resource. With VGo, busy managers can give their employees the attention they need or keep an eye on things even when they’re out of the office selling or at home during their off hours. Instead of managing by walking around, you can manage by driving around. VGo can also be used as a security tool to check out the scene when an alarm has been triggered (did an employee come to the office late or did someone break in?) or just to wander around and make sure everything is in its place.

VGo’s underlying technology is very sophisticated – but to the user, it’s very simple. Vgo is continually connected to a purpose built cloud-computing network that keeps track of its availability and initiates active presence upon request by a remote user. VGo connects to the network using WiFi. The remote user selects where they want to go from a list of available Vgos on their VGo PC App running on their internet-connected PC. The VGo PC App enables a user to see and hear everything at the distant location as well as drive around. The VGo PC App also transmits the remote user’s image and voice to establish their active presence in that distant location.
VGo is uniquely integrated with a camera, microphones, and video display - all on a light-weight, motorized, stylish, remote-controlled platform. Vgo is optimized at 4 feet tall so it works equally well when interacting with people who are sitting or standing. And of course you can look anywhere – up, down, all around. You can move delicately around tight spaces, slowly pan around the room or join a colleague walking down the hall. Vgo is battery powered and can run up to a full day between charges. When it’s time to recharge – just click the "Dock" button and VGo automatically positions itself on its charging dock (included).
VGo is designed for indoor environments. You can go wherever WiFi is present within in building. It can easily be carried up or down stairs, or you can have one or more Vgo’s on each floor where a remote person needs to conduct work.
VGo can be shared by a set of people or dedicated to a single person using standard web accounts and permission settings maintained by you, or by someone in your organization or by your reseller - just as applications such as shared printing, email, and instant messaging are managed today. VGo includes a set of services to ensure everything gets up and running and stays that way. Telephone and web support, hardware warranty and software updates ensure peace of mind.
