HP Labs working on webOS for multiple team video conferences.

The multiple users video conferences , we have seen on desktops, laptops, notebooks and netbooks is now for the first time in a experimental phase at HP Labs for mobile.

We know you can actually have a one to one  video chat call now . The upcoming new feature will allow webOS devices users to video connect to multiple account users as a useful tool for working teams.

So, in a near unknown future your webOS smartphone and tablet will run multiple team video conferences.

There is less than a month left to the HP webOS TouchPad and Pre3 launch in June. Will HP Labs reach the optimal working point for the multiple team (groups)video conferences at that time. ? Just surprise everyone. After all HP is an expert on the Situation Rooms

Actual status from HP Labs of this work:

Current status and next steps

Our demos show new ways to use mobile device sensors to provide natural, simple solutions for two fundamental problems of small devices: bad viewpoint and small display area.

We will take advantage of the new sensors on webOS handsets and tablets to complete the solutions we describe above. At that point we will begin formal user tests. If the results of the tests are encouraging, we will include these features in our port to webOS of our experimental video conferencing application.
