Logitech is creating more equitable work experiences for hybrid workers with RightSight 2 software that now simultaneously presents both a close-up view of the individual speaker and a view of the entire meeting room during video calls. With RightSight 2 auto-framing technology, far-end participants can follow the active speaker while also getting situational context from the group, such as one person gesturing to another or writing on a whiteboard.
Logitech continues to advance its software intelligence to deliver the immersive, inclusive experiences that remote participants would have if they were physically present in the room as the workforce adapts to a long-term hybrid environment. Logitech’s latest innovation, RightSight 2, is part of an ongoing effort to make meetings more equitable now and in the future.
“Video calls with office co-workers can often make remote participants feel unheard or unnoticed. They may struggle to keep up with the meeting flow or miss crucial in-room interactions,” said Loubna Imenchal, Head of Video Collaboration at Logitech AMECA. “RightSight 2 is the equalizer for remote participants so they can collaborate with their colleagues in office on equal footing regardless of their location
RightSight 2 uses audio and video intelligence to determine where people are in the room and where their voices are coming from. Speaker View is a new mode that employs the two-camera system in Rally Bar and Rally Bar Mini to provide a picture-in-picture view* of the active speaker as well as the entire group. The main camera frames the active speaker, which pans and zooms smoothly as the speaker changes, while the wide-angle AI Viewfinder frames the room, ensuring remote participants can clearly see and hear all meeting exchanges. IT administrators can choose between Speaker View and Group View (RightSight’s original implementation of auto-framing) to suit their teams’ needs.
Speaker View in RightSight 2 is compatible with all of Logitech’s major cloud video conferencing partners, giving IT teams confidence that their Logitech video collaboration ecosystem will adapt to the changing needs of their hybrid workplace. The feature will work in picture-in-picture mode with Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android and Windows, and it will integrate seamlessly with Zoom Rooms multi-stream technology, which displays each speaker and room stream in separate, individual tiles.
