Polycom launches EagleEye Director II Camera
2017-06-08
Polycom, Inc. has unveiled EagleEye Director II camera. The camera frames and zooms in on active speakers allowing for more natural conversation and greater interaction among participants, enabling them to see facial expressions and body language more clearly. The EagleEye Director II automatically scans the room during a meeting to identify and focus on active meeting participants. When someone in the virtual meeting starts to speak, the camera seamlessly transitions to an up-close view of that person. The EagleEye Director II camera changes the video conferencing experience from the awkward and distant “bowling alley” view to a professionally produced video meeting when combined with Polycom Group Series video room systems.
“One of the biggest challenges facing Indian employers today is closing the technology gap between 20th-century technologies and the workplace of the future style collaboration solutions that employees are demanding. The best technologies are those that keep pace with where users want to push it,” Minhaj Zia, Vice-President for Polycom in India, SAARC & SEA, explains. “In fact, a recent Polycom Anywhere Working survey also found that 98% of Indians believe video technology is the key in building relationships and improving productivity. Not surprising, given that 86% of India’s working population has a colleague based in a different location.”
Zia continues, “In this new era of anywhere working, our focus is on creating reliable technology that is easy to use and provides excellent video and audio capabilities. The best user experience is when the technology works so well, it creates a natural collaboration environment that enhances teamwork and boosts productivity.”
He adds that this latest camera innovation delivers deeper engagement and more effective meetings, as automatic speaker detection allows users to clearly see vital facial expressions and body language. “With workplaces continuing to evolve, technology too has to keep up with our customers’ requirements for solutions that are simple to use and deliver the expected experience. Through our innovations, we look to make virtual meetings as lifelike and as natural as possible, ensuring that productivity and great communication can happen across any distance.”
V-Guard Industries has recently implemented EagleEye Director, to enable better collaboration in offices across the country.
