People are the mostimportant componentof any meeting, so
conference rooms must be optimizedfor a superior participant experience.IVCi ensures remote participants are able to clearly see the localparticipants along with the activespeaker. Also, the room needs to be comfortable for those within it.Proper furniture, acoustics andaesthetics are all considered and help support collaboration andcreativity by allowing participants to focus on the meeting at hand.
Organizations often have the need to connect groups of people in an engaging and interactive environment. Collaboration rooms arepurpose-built environments designed to organize ideas whileproviding the freedom needed to inspire creativity.
Connect People
The ability to present or share content is often required in
meetings as participants may need to share documents, PowerPointpresentations, or training videos. In addition, participants might need the ability to create, modify or annotate documents in real-time.IVCi designs rooms to supportmultiple data sources and formatsand display content clearly frommultiple vantage points. Participantsare able to effortlessly view andactively discuss the documents in real-time.
Some environmentsrequire interactivecollaboration along
with the creation, sharing andannotation of complex data. Complexdata includes large, high resolutionimages, such as blueprints or productdesigns, where granular detail isnecessary. Complex data alsoincludes the ability to display andcontrol data from multiple sourcessimultaneously—such as participants’PCs or tablets. Participants caneffortlessly make changes and switchbetween deliverables in real-time.
