Logitech Sight tabletop companion camera is featured in Fast Company’s fourth annual Next Big Things in Tech list, honoring emerging technology that profoundly impacts industries—from education and sustainability to robotics and artificial intelligence. This year, 138 technologies developed by established companies, startups, or research teams are featured for their potential to revolutionize the lives of consumers, businesses, and society. Each is reaching key milestones to have a proven impact in the next five years.
“The Next Big Things in Tech provides a fascinating glimpse at near- and long-term technological breakthroughs across a variety of sectors,” says Brendan Vaughan, editor-in-chief of Fast Company. “Spanning everything from semiconductors to agricultural gene editing, the companies featured in this year’s list are tackling some of the world’s most pressing and vexing problems.”
Sight, honored in the Enterprise category, solves a ubiquitous problem in hybrid workplaces: Poor meeting experiences that result in employee disengagement for remote attendees–a trend that has the potential to cost companies trillions of dollars in lost productivity. *
Logitech Sight’s AI-powered Smart Switching feature uses techniques inspired by professional TV production to make hybrid meetings engaging and equitable for all employees. The multicamera system’s advanced framing technology and adaptive intelligence automatically decide between center-of-table camera and front-of-room Rally Bar perspectives to render the best view of in-room meeting participants.
“Logitech Sight Smart Switching is an employee experience breakthrough disguised as a software feature,” said Prakash Arunkundrum, Chief Operating Officer and GM of Logitech for Business. “We’re hearing from companies every day how this technology is helping breathe new life into work relationships and making collaboration stronger. Imagine what other innovations might come from this novel new way to meet, where humans–not the technology– are front and center.”
Logitech Sight has also been awarded TIME Best Inventions of 2024, Fast Company Innovation by Design 2023, IDA Design Awards 2024, Red Dot Winner 2024, and IF Design Award 2024.
