FULL STORY ======================================================================

Logitech has announced an all-new, AI-powered tabletop camera to help blur
the boundaries between hybrid working and the connected feel many of us have grown to know in the conference room.

Logitech Sight is built with some of the major video conferencing suites in mind, integrating with Zoom s Smart Galley and Microsoft Teams dynamic view. It also supports Google Meet .

Priced at $1,999 (2,199) Logitech Sight consists of a pair of 4K cameras and seven beam-forming mics to target anyone who might be talking on a call. Logitech Sight

The company cites Microsofts 2022 Work Trend Index: Annual Report 's
research, which suggests that 43% of remote employees dont feel included in their meetings, which Logitech hopes to fix with the Logitech Sight.

Its designed to work with the $3,999 (3,599) Logitech Rally Bar or $2,999 (2,699) Logitech Rally Bar Mini, which are typically mounted at the front of the room to provide an overall view of the meetings participants.

Also supported is the companys $1,199 (1,199) Scribe camera which presents whiteboard illustrations straight into online calls, but early adopters will have to wait a while before they can take full advantage of the add-on.

Set to arrive later after launch, according to Logitech, the RightSight feature will be able to determine which camera to use automatically,
switching between the front-of-room Rally bar and the tabletop Sight module. Read more

Logitech says the setup should be able to intuitively [switch] between camera views of in-person interactions and tracking conversations naturally, extending coverage to nonverbal cues.
