New meeting space solutions and software with video and collaboration solutions

24-01-2024 | ViewSonic | Industrial

ViewSonic Corp. has announced expanding its Workspace Solutions to include innovative video conferencing and collaboration solutions. The new ViewSonic Meeting Space Solution for Microsoft Teams Rooms and TeamWork software is designed to improve efficiencies and streamline collaboration for modern group work, ideal for business and academic settings.

The company's solutions integrate software and hardware to provide diverse visual solutions that improve productivity and streamline communication. The solution is intended for video conferencing optimisation, and the proprietary TeamWork is real-time collaboration whiteboard software. These new, easy-to-use, and rapidly deployable additions help overcome physical communication barriers, empowering groups and individuals' collaboration and improving productivity in in-person or hybrid mode.

"In today's tech-savvy world, simplicity in technology is the ultimate goal for ViewSonic Workspace Solutions," said Clifford Chen, general manager of the Presentation Group at ViewSonic. "While the interaction in face-to-face meetings is unmatched, the intuitive ViewSonic Meeting Space Solution can provide an effective alternative that emulates in-person connection, further saving travel time and costs for group discussion. Meanwhile, TeamWork enhances seamless collaboration for group work, as if all members are in the same room and discussing in real time. Together, these advancements successfully create a virtual workspace."

The solution and TeamWork work independently but share the same objective of streamlining and simplifying communications, letting presenters and participants focus on the discussion while promoting inclusivity and expanding modes of collaboration. They respectively manage common challenges faced during meetings and group discussions, such as display compatibility issues, delays from device connectivity problems, unclear meeting minutes, and loss of trackable shared ideas, all of which can impact productivity and communication quality.

The solution for Microsoft Teams Rooms includes a Microsoft Teams Rooms pre-installed PC, a touch console, and a 3-in-1 conference camera bar with a speaker and microphone. It is compatible with various display types and sizes – across the company and other brands – making it ideal for huddle meeting spaces. With the solution, meeting hosts can efficiently kick off hybrid meetings with a single click on the touch console in the meeting room. Discussions are delivered with high-quality audiovisual, providing up to 4K resolution with crystal-clear audio, making it feel like everyone is in the same room. Also, the camera bar provides advanced voice-detecting technology that automatically centres the speaker's face on the screen. These features give in-room and remote participants a greater sense of connection and help to conduct meetings more smoothly.

Alongside the solution, the company launched TeamWork, a collaborative whiteboard software available as an add-on with easy browser accessibility across devices. As a hub of ideas and planning, it transforms any meeting place into an interactive, collaborative workspace. Using the various workflow templates on the platform, teammates can engage in real-time collaboration on the whiteboard for dynamically brainstorming and mapping out innovative strategies. Product teams can visualise roadmaps, and even students who need to work together on their group projects can easily assign responsibilities and key deliverables through TeamWork, improving their ability to collaborate more effectively.

The company demonstrates its total workspace solution at BETT 2024 (24th - 26th Jan) and ISE 2024 (30th Jan - 2nd Feb). Visitors will experience the ViewSonic Meeting Space Solution and TeamWork working seamlessly with its 86" ViewBoard interactive display to guide and facilitate real-world group work with collaboration templates.
