Press Release Body = Digital Video Enterprises, Inc. (www.DVEtelepresence.com)
announced today the issuing of a landmark patent #7,209,160 related to the
burgeoning field of telepresence conferencing. Telepresence conferencing has
received considerable attention recently with firms such as Cisco, Polycom and HP
offering a variety of telepresence room-based solutions. DVE is unique in the
field, because of DVE's superior eye-to-eye experience by embedding the hidden
camera directly behind the eyes of the person on the screen. The experience is
remarkably like being there in person. The patent has over 45 claims and 19
independent claims covering a variety of telepresence and tele-immersion
experiences.

The patent teaches the art of true telepresence and reveals the next frontier of
conferencing known as tele-immersion. "tele-immersion has been envisioned by
science fiction writers for decades where imaged people actually appear holographic
and 3-D. With DVE tele-immersion imaged people walk around and interact with local
conference people as if actually in the room," stated DVE co-founder Jeff Machtig.
The patent claims two methodologies to achieve the experience which includes the use
of holographic / transparent projection screens and the use of large format flexible
beamsplitters.

The patent is part of a family of continuation-in-part patents that date back to the
mid-1990s establishing DVE's inventorship. The patent further claims unique front
projection pathways to fold light in an optical pathway with beamsplitters and
numerous improvements to DVE's core technologies. According to Jeff Machtig, "DVE
will launch in Early Summer '07 group experiences unlike anything ever commercially
available. The corporate boardroom will never be the same when we deploy DVE
tele-immersion that offers 3-D augmented reality collaboration."

DVE is a Gold Sponsor of the Telepresence World 2007 conference
(www.telepresenceworld.com) to be held June 4-6 at the University of San Diego, San
Diego, CA. This landmark conference will thoroughly profile the art and science of
telepresence and its groundbreaking impacts on virtual collaboration. Attendees of
Telepresence World 2007 will have the unique opportunity to participate in live,
real-time demonstrations of DVE's telepresence technology, including telepresence
solutions that range from personal systems for the home office to unique group
systems that hide the camera directly behind the image of the person on the display.


About DVE
Digital Video Enterprises, Inc. is the world's leader in True Telepresence
conferencing. Traditional videoconferencing has been proven to be a poor
communication medium, because of the unnatural and awkward experience it provides.
DVE's patented technologies have transformed the mediocrity of common
videoconferencing into an experience that truly simulates being there in person.
This is achieved, in part, by optically concealed cameras behind the images on the
display screens. Coupled with next generation hardware and software that provide
true DVD and HD quality images, the experience finally fulfills the promise of
quality videoconferencing. The overall experience is defined by DVE as "True
Telepresence" and represents an entire new medium for human communication over a
distance. DVE's technologies have been deployed around the globe by leaders in the
entertainment industry, financial sector, healthcare, K-12, higher education, and
major corporations. For additional Information call (949) 347-9166 or visit the DVE
