AI-Enhanced Meetings with Smart Cameras
With smart framing, systems automatically adjust the view to include all participants, while auto-tracking follows the presenter for a seamless experience. AI takes it further by cropping participants individually and identifying them by voice, creating a more immersive experience. AI-powered assistants also generate meeting summaries, extract key action items, and answer questions—ensuring no detail is missed.
AI is transforming remote monitoring, tracking device usage, measuring energy consumption, and assessing return on investment in office technology. These insights help businesses optimize their meeting spaces for greater efficiency.
Meetings with AI features bring clarity, engagement, and efficiency to every participant—while helping businesses make smarter, data-driven decisions.
