Owl Labs, which builds AI-powered, 360-degree video conferencing solutions, launched its next-gen flagship product: the Meeting Owl 4+. This all-in-one, 360-degree camera, speaker and mic device offers 4K Ultra HD video, and is powered by the latest Owl Intelligence System (OIS) software, for wirelessly pairing more devices to allow organizations to customize their spaces to meet evolving need.
Over 200,000 organizations across nearly 50 countries have used Owl Labs products to power millions of hybrid experiences. Owl devices use robotics and proprietary AI-powered software to automatically switch between cameras, capturing the best view of in-room attendees while enabling natural, face-to-face conversations. With the introduction of the Meeting Owl 4+, Owl Labs offers enhanced capabilities, including pairing with more devices to cover larger spaces, as well as improved fleet management for IT teams, customizable lighting and sound options upon startup.
With OIS software, the Meeting Owl 4+ pairs with Owl Labs’ customizable connected device system to capture all angles of the discussion. Owl Labs products can connect with others in over 25 different setup configurations, with both center-of-room and front-and-center options. For example, a company can wirelessly connect two Meeting Owls for greater coverage, or a Meeting Owl and an Owl Bar to ensure all angles are covered in a full-room solution. The software is developed in the U.S..
The launch represents the latest advancement in Owl Labs’ mission to make hybrid meetings more inclusive and collaborative by leveling the playing field between remote and in-room participants.
“Non-verbal communication is crucial in the workplace for collaboration and rapport, and studies have even shown that non-verbal communication is at least as important as verbal discussion, if not more,” said Frank Weishaupt, the CEO of Owl Labs. “As the hybrid workplace has evolved beyond meetings where everyone is in the same room, we need to do away with outdated video technology that doesn’t allow remote attendees to clearly see and hear during meetings. Meanwhile, today’s enterprise businesses are evolving their offices and processes faster than ever to keep up with the pace of economic and AI-driven transformation. At Owl Labs, we’re building easy-to-use meeting technology that’s as nimble as they are, from small businesses to the largest enterprises.”
Other features include:
- Upgraded video quality.
- Wide-range audio.
- Enterprise fleet management.
- Upgraded OIS software features such as silent switching, streamlined setup, platform-agnostic nature and improved front + center experience.
The new Meeting Owl 4+ is available in the U.S., Canada and Europe, via OwlLabs.com, Amazon and other third-party resellers and distribution partners.
