Cisco ūmi and Ellen Page: Just-in-Time for the Holidays (Video)

Cisco ūmi™ telepresence, a first-of-its-kind consumer product that brings family and friends together on your high-definition television, is now available at Magnolia Home Theater at Best Buy, bestbuy.com and umi.cisco.com.

You will now be able to see your loved ones and enjoy a video experience that is so clear, natural and lifelike, you will feel as though they were in the same room with you.

Today, we are excited to share with you our advertising campaign featuring Ellen Page, the star of “Juno” and “Inception,” and her friends using ūmi in their everyday lives.

Here is the debut of the first ad: Maiden Voyage.

Marthin De Beer, Cisco’s SVP of Emerging Technologies, has compared ūmi to a piece of fine “chocolate” and said you have to experience it to believe it and now you can!

A Cisco ūmi mall tour started at the SF City Centre Mall this past Friday and will travel to more than 20 major malls across the United States this holiday season, during which you will be able to experience live ūmi demonstrations.

Also, look out for our “Get Together Tour” vans that may be travelling near you. The mobile tour will travel the country and provide trial opportunities at sporting events, concerts and other venues and special events.

We hope you have a wonderful holiday season and Cisco ūmi brings you “home” for the holidays!
