Owl Labs has announced the release of a new Lenovo-powered 360° Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTR-W) solution.
"Teaming up with Lenovo creates a new standard for seamless 360-degree collaboration in hybrid meetings,"
says Frank Weishaupt, CEO of Owl Labs.
Made in collaboration with Lenovo, the device combines Owl Labs' Meeting Owl 3 and 4+ with Lenovo’s edge ThinkSmart Core and Tiny Kit to create full-room solutions.
Examining the AI-Powered Teams Room
Owl Labs' collaboration with Lenovo combines the company's experience designing AV with Lenovo's expertise in building computing devices designed for collaboration.
This joint offering includes a Meeting Owl 3 or 4+ for 360° in-room video and audio, a Lenovo ThinkSmart Core or Tiny Kit to run Teams Rooms, and a Lenovo Controller (IP or USB) for one-touch meeting control and room management.
By combining a center-of-room innovation with Lenovo's modular approach, Owl Labs aims to bridge the gap in hybrid meetings by turning BYOD device setups into fully integrated Microsoft Teams Rooms.
Complementing this is the 360-degree view, allowing in-office attendees to be visible to remote viewers regardless of their position relative to the camera.
“By integrating Owl Labs' innovative 360-degree center-of-room camera solutions, we are now able to offer a truly differentiated AI-powered audio-visual experience that complements our existing front-of-room bars offering," says Marcus Kennedy, GM of Smart Collaboration at Lenovo.
