Yao Ming on Visual Networking
It is hard to believe that scarcely more than a month has passed since the Beijing Olympics. The spectacle and glory of the games was made real to billions of people in the world through the power of video. Many of us experienced a view of China for the first time that was, simply, breathtaking in both its sheer beauty as well as the sense of economic development. Indeed several of my colleagues provided both industry and personal reflections on the event and the role networking played in the enjoyment and impact of the game.
Two of the hottest stories around the Olympics were around basketball - with 20/20 hindsight, I have to give a shout-out to the "Redeem Team"—and the role of Internet. Before the games, Yao Ming, one of the biggest stories in basketball, was good enough to share his reflections on his career, the game, and visual networking through a multi-point TelePresence interview I did with him, the New York sports press, and Chinese reporters (during a television broadcast). Please enjoy the reflections of a global superstar on his sport and technology.
