LG Electronics to offer multi-user video phone

LG Electronics has developed the world's first push-to-view mobile phone, which enables multi-user video conferencing, the company said yesterday in a statement, reports JoongAng Daily.

"Push-to-view, or PTV, is a development of the concept of push-to-talk phones that use walkie-talkie technology.

While current video conferencing technology only enables one-to-one image transmission, PTV takes video telephony one step further, allowing a user to send real-time moving images to more than one person at the same time. Recipients of the video can also join the video conferences."
