Adaptive Framing by AI-Driven Cameras
Are your remote worker stuck with a wide shot of the conference table during calls? There’s now a better way. Video conferencing platforms like Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet have developed software that enhances camera framing for a more equitable experience.
By integrating multiple cameras into video calls, new AI software tracks and frames people’s faces in the room and is smart enough to recognize individuals. This will split everyone into their own square on the video display, and if someone’s face appears in more than one feed, the system knows it should only display the forward-facing square. Each person will be seen more clearly, so everyone can be part of both the virtual and in-person moments.
Logitech’s 360-Degree Camera & Microphone
For businesses looking for a simple way to improve their video conferencing, Logitech’s new Sight tabletop camera and microphone creates a more equitable experience for remote workers. The Sight device includes a 4K camera and seven microphones that capture conversations at 360-degrees. The device works in tandem with the camera at the front of the table, so remote and hybrid staff will have a complete view of the room.
A solution like the Logitech Sight is a simple way to modernize your meeting rooms without ripping out walls to wire new systems. And when people’s voices are in closer proximity to microphones, conversations will be heard and understood much more clearly. The Sight camera and microphone is compatible with platforms like Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Zoom, so you can use the interface you’re already familiar with.
Cloud-Based Whiteboards
Historically, the digital whiteboard hasn’t been the saving grace we once thought it would be. But in 2023, that’s finally changing. Rather than use separate whiteboard software that’s external to the systems you already use, your company can engage with whiteboard features in your existing systems, from Zoom to Teams and Google Business Suite.
Whether you’re using tablets, laptops, or even phones, both in-person and remote teams can sketch, scribble, and write on virtual whiteboards that are automatically saved to the cloud. Are you old-school and prefer using markers? Whiteboard cameras can capture what’s written on the board, digitize it, and save it to the cloud.
A Complete Meeting Room System
While all of these devices and pieces are helpful on their own, the best solution is to integrate all cameras, microphones, video displays, media, and lighting controls into one system.
At Texadia Systems, we design and install complete conference room systems that capture everyone’s voice and face while improving display visibility. Whether you need screens on multiple walls, distributed audio in an auditorium, or tabletop controls, we can find a solution so that everyone can participate in your meetings.
