PREMISES Moving forward, most analysts and commentators expect a large majority of meetings to have at least one employee joining remotely, meaning business leaders must alter their workplaces to support smarter and more flexible meeting spaces that support and enable participation from both on-location and remote participants. Here’s some of the latest on-premises devices to help them build more hybrid-friendly small-room collaboration environments. Hybrid Meet-Me Room Product Showcase Poly Studio R30 Video Bar The newest addition to the Poly Studio Series, the Poly Studio R30 smart USB video bar, is designed specfically for small meeting rooms. This plug-and-play device comes equipped with Poly DirectorAI technology to ensure everyone is seen clearly with pinpoint-accurate group and speaker framing. The new video bar also features a 4K camera with 120-degree field of view; advanced audio with NoiseBlock AI and Acoustic Fence to blockout unwanted background noise; and Wi-Fi device capabilities for remote IT management, reducing the need for additional management software in the room. End-users have the option to personalize settings for their workspace. Owl Labs Pro 360-Degree Camera Owl Lab’s premium and all-in-one 360-degree camera, mic and speaker device was designed to create an immersive experience for hybrid teams. It allows participants to see the whole room even when not actually in the room with its 360-degree camera in 1080p and a 360-degree tri-speaker. It features an 18-foot audio pickup radius to support larger rooms and AI integration that uses motion and voice to auto-focus on the speaker. Built to be plug-and-play, the Owl Pro integrates with major conferencing platforms including Zoom, BlueJeans, GoToMeetings, Webex and Teams. 46 REMOTE WORK SOLUTIONS rwsmagazine.com
