Teliris, Cisco's Co-Leader in Telepresence Market

Saying Teleport was the first telepresence system is just as bad, the definition of telepresence is complete subjective. Is it large screens? how large? low latency codecs? how low? multiple screens? how many? high definition?
Most would say it is an "immersive" meeting experience, and that means the "first" telepresence system would be different from one person to the next. The wikipedia entry on telepresence is a terrible source of information on this and seems to be a battleground between vendors, past and present.
