Microsoft Portrait (new version of concept prototype)
Todd Ogasawara
"Microsoft Portrait" concept prototype application. I just tried it out and
will have a brief commentary on what I found on my MobileViews web site. You
can find Microsoft Portrait at...

From the web site:
"Microsoft Portrait, which supports MSN Messenger, is a video communication
program working at very low bit rates on the Internet. It runs on PCs,
Pocket PCs and Handheld PCs in local area networks, dialup networks or even
wireless networks with bandwidths as low as 9.6 kilobits per second.
Microsoft Portrait delivers portrait-like black/white video which can work
in so low bandwidth that full color video can never work. The portrait video
is so small that it can even be transmitted through an HTTP proxy as text.
Microsoft Portrait provides basic audio/video talk and chat functions almost
anytime anywhere on any device."
