Owl Labs, a company specializing in video conference solutions, has announced the launch of 'Whiteboard Owl,' a new camera device designed by expert roboticists that allow remote office meeting participants to view a high-resolution image of a physical, in-office whiteboard.
Built for the hybrid workplace, the new device can add any in-office whiteboard to video conferences, ensuring all participants are receiving the same information. The product can be mounted on a wall, ceiling, or set up with a tripod and allows for individuals to move freely through the room without interfering with the whiteboard stream.
More specifically, Whiteboard Owl works by having users place magnetic Whiteboard tags on two corners of an existing whiteboard. Users can then toggle between viewing the board or the meeting participants, providing them with an additional level of engagement.
