The RICOH 360 Meeting Hub is a 3-in-1 video camera, speaker and microphone that creates an immersive, realistic, and life-like meeting experience where in-person and remote participants can feel they are together in the same place. The device’s panoramic 360-degree view coupled with voice pick-up from up to 6m away, gives everyone the confidence to take part. Whole groups are displayed simultaneously so no one appears distant, and individuals attending remotely can see and hear everyone as if they were there in person. The camera automatically focuses on speakers and adjusts the image so facial expressions are clear – even up to 3.6 meters away. In addition, Auto Gain Control functionality adjusts the volume so that all participants can be heard equally, and interactions can flow seamlessly.
The device can be used anywhere for every audience and every meeting. Its lightweight, ergonomic design makes it easy to position on any flat surface – ideal for office meetings. Or it can be mounted on a tripod for stand-up meetings on the factory floor or at an event.
Thanks to its dual fisheye lens, the device can identify up to 8 individual speakers, and highlight the three most recent participants in high-resolution, larger frames. Acoustic echo cancellation and noise reduction ensure that all participants can be heard clearly – even in places with background noise.
Set-up and operation are stress-free and seamless – intuitive plug-and-play functionality means you simply plug the RICOH 360 Meeting Hub into a laptop with no need to configure multiple devices or install complicated software.
