Video Conferencing systems and infrastructure is becoming more and more prevalent in not only commercial installations but also educational institutions. It is considered that a high percentage of communication is non-verbal and so users want to be able to not only hear the people they are communicating with, but also see them.

CHW Consulting has designed and managed over 200 integrated Video Conferencing systems for Commercial installations as well as Justice, Health and Education. The systems range from simple one camera, one screen scenarios to multiple pan-tilt-zoon (PTZ) cameras and multiple screen high definition systems which integrate to control systems to provide the user with a high level of control and customization.

Specialist Learning Spaces

Over the past 2 years CHW Consulting has undertaken numerous designs for innovative Collaborative Learning Spaces. These teaching environments allow lecturers to interact more with students than traditional lecture theatre style spaces. New Pedagogy requirements have seen the emergence of this new style of classrooms to encourage the sharing of information amongst the class for all to see easily and quickly.
