Microsoft Office RoundTable: 360-Degree Conferencing Camera

Microsoft Office RoundTable is a communications device consisting of a 360-degree camera and unified communications software. When combined with Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007, Office RoundTable delivers an immersive conferencing experience that extends the meeting room across multiple locations. RoundTable and Communications Server 2007 provide meeting participants, including those in remote locations, with a panoramic view of everyone in the conference room and a close-up view of individual participants, triggered by the voice of the active speaker.

RoundTable has built-in microphones that capture audio content. The console enables all meeting content to be recorded, indexed and archived for playback, transforming meetings into reusable corporate assets.
