How we Serve
PACE 2000 has developed a modern
secure videoconferencing application for
face-to-face interations without the technology barriers
typical of videoconferencing applications. We call it PACE-2-Face™
Using PACE-2-Face™, an
accessible, user-friendly "four dimensional, 4D”
interface, consisting of :
- Audio
- Video
- Concomitant and symmetric document and
applications sharing
- Co-Edition of texts
and senoirs can use PACE-2-Face™
without the need of an attending third party.
An excellent and highly inclusive solution
to empower older adults to engage in entrepreneurship and
promote intergenerational collaboration.
The PACE-2-Face™ solution
has been thoroughly tested and the application and associated
managed partner-pairing program demonstrated
great knowledge of the needs, wishes and aspirations of
older adults and of youth of varying socio-economical
backgrounds.
Since its creation, the PACE 2000
Foundation has therefore developed new urbanization and
virtual community tools, in particular thanks to new
communication technologies.
