Article: A Better Vision for Hybrid Meeting Equity - Logitech

Like a Movie, They Need a “Director”

Maybe that’s a little dramatic, but scenarios like this typically play out due to technology limitations rather than human error. 

Most conference rooms feature a patchwork of disparate video tools operating independently. There is no interplay between hardware and software to deliver a cinematic feel. 

In contrast, a platform-based approach allows for the action to be followed (like a movie director would), with hardware and software working together on the devices in tandem. 

We take this approach at Logitech via CollabOS, our dedicated operating system for video conferencing, where firmware is developed and deployed on a single platform.

Addressing the Visibility Problem

• With on-demand group auto-framing and re-framing, we bring all participants close to the lens with automatic panning and zooming. 

• We bake color correction technology into our cameras that adjusts for harsh lighting environments, reducing the visual impact of glare and shadows.

• By prioritizing human-focused light and color optimization for natural skin tones, our products allow for authenticity and diversity to shine in video conferencing. 

These mechanics help to recreate the in-person meeting experience and create a sense of immersion for everyone. They allow remote meeting participants to be on equal footing with their counterparts in the conference room, feel like they have the same presence, and feel like they belong.

Best of all, these updates are automatically shipped to your devices over the air, improving the experience and extending the life of your VC investment at the same time.

In the third post in this series, we cover the audio component of engineering meeting equity and the importance of being able to fully hear and be heard.
