LAS VEGAS, and  MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Jan. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- INTERNATIONAL CES 2012- Sococo, the social communications company, announces the launch of video conversations and meetings for Team Space at the International CES 2012.

Sococo Team Space is an always-on virtual work environment that integrates people, applications, processes, and communications within a unique spatial user interface. This common, immersive environment provides users a shared visual and social experience for greater community, awareness, and productivity. Sococo Team Space has a full suite of integrated communication capabilities including video, voice, chat, screen sharing and phone calling.

Team Space Video comes at a time when the adoption and usage of video for conversations and meetings is rising exponentially. A November 2011 NPD In-Stat analysis forecasts the total number of active video calling users will surpass 380 million in 2015, an increase from 63 million in 2010.  And a December 2011 New York Times article claims an average of 300 million minutes of Skype video calls are made daily globally, an increase of about 900% from 2007.

"Sococo is the first communications company to launch always-on, person-centric services with spatial-enabled switching," said Chris Wheeler, president, Sococo. "Team Space Video enables enterprise and small business customers to improve productivity, reduce costs, and feel more connected."

More details on Team Space Video

Team Space Video utilizes an always-on and multi-sharing architecture to mirror the way people want to use video.  For video conversations, Team Space Video enables two people to switch from voice or chat only to a video conversation, and share screens with each other simultaneously. Similarly for video meetings of three or more people, everyone can use their video and screen sharing capabilities to enable a richer, more engaging meeting.

Customers of any size can utilize Team Space's unique user interface and communication capabilities.  Enterprise customers can add Team Space to their legacy communication services and improve team and enterprise productivity, and Team Space Video can replace enterprise legacy video services or integrate with those services to provide video calling and conferencing services. Small to medium sized businesses can utilize Team Space to enable all person-to-person communications and group meetings replacing other stand-alone communications and meeting services, and Team Space Video now enables SMB customers to fully replace or augment current services.

"Adding video communications to Team Space enables richer one-on-one conversations and meetings without the cost and hassle of other legacy communication services," said Joshua Moyers, vice president of engineering, Sococo. "Team Space makes working and meeting together effortless and video adds a deeper level of community."
