Let’s Rock with the Z4 (with Dr. Z’s Help)!!! — ZVRS Feature #2

For this week, Dr. Z will put up features about the fantastic videophone that everyone is talking about–the Z4!

The Z4 has so many cool features and by giving it to you piece by piece will allow you to appreciate the power of the Z4! Some of these features may be documented, some may be hidden and some may not be documented–but don’t let this bother you–as a software pioneer himself, Dr. Z has found it best to not “read the stuff”, but play with the stuff–the actual experience is usually the best way to learn.

The second cool feature about the Z4 is the spacebar—it is the “longest” key on the keyboard. When you hit it during a connected conversation, your screen is covered with a screen saying “video privacy enabled”. Try it! It only works when you are connected to someone in a conversation–with your video interpreter or with your friend…you can use it for moments where you do not want your screen to be visible to the person you are talking to.

SPACEBAR = VIDEO PRIVACY SCREEN!!!

Cool. isn’t it? Check in with Dr. Z every day of the week this week (March 22-26) for more hints about the power of the Z4!

Let’s Rock with the Z4 (with Dr. Z’s Help)!!! — ZVRS Feature #1

For next week, Dr. Z will put up features about the fantastic videophone that everyone is talking about–the Z4!

Some of these features may be documented, some may be hidden and some may not be documented–but don’t let this bother you–as a software pioneer himself, Dr. Z has found it best to not “read the stuff”, but play with the stuff–the actual experience is usually the best way to learn.

The first cool feature about the Z4 is the magic button—it is the “ESC” key. When you hit it during a connected conversation, something miraculous happens. Try it! It only works when you are connected to someone in a conversation–with your video interpreter or with your friend…

“ESC”=FULL SCREEN!!!!

Yes, when you hit the “ESC” key, the screen showing your friend of the video interpreter goes to full screen and you can see them so clearly–hopefully you won’t see if your friend has shaved or not. If that bothers you, just hit “ESC” again and the screen will get smaller…

Cool. isn’t it? Check in with Dr. Z every day of the week next week (March 22-26) for more hints about the power of the Z4!

In addition to the information on this blog, Dr. Z will put up a schedule of classes over the weekend and they will be offered several times a week, several times a day and in the evenings for those who work during the day. Dr. Z will remind you when he puts up the schedule of classes. At the beginning, all the classes will focus on the Z4, before going into other subjects.

Let’s Go to School with Dr. Z

Dr. Z has set up classes for you all to learn about the Z Products and about the VRS industry. The classes will take place online using a MCU (multipoint control unit.) In this setup, 8 of you will see each other and Dr. Z in a class. Any videophone can be used to participate in the class. Each class is limited to 8 students. If a class is full, you will be put on a waiting list. Dr. Z will set up more classes so you can have a chance to learn some more about our products and other things.

Classes will take place several times a week and will cover a wide variety of topics. The first classes will cover the Z4 (the downloadable videophone.) The Z4 allows you to download software onto your netbook, laptop or desktop and it will become a full-functioning videophone (with a webcam or a built-in webcam.)

Signing up for class is simple! Just go to www.drzvrs.com/school and click on the class you want to enter. You will receive a confirmation and the day before the class, you will receive some materials. At the time of the class, Dr. Z will call you to have you join the class.

What is a Zeminar? Videonar?

A “seminar” usually means a group of people talking/discussing about a subject. We can do the same thing with VRS! If you want to discuss something with other people across the country, we can put some of you together and put up a screen with 15 people talking at the same time, with a moderator. The picture on the right gives you an idea of how it looks.

We hope to host our first Zeminar in July and will host one as often as you all want it. Click here to suggest a topic for the Zeminar.

What is a videonar? It is a seminar (zeminar) using video! We have the resources to do just that! Enjoy!
