The increasingly widespread adoption of hybrid work as a new dynamic and a different way of understanding the labor context, it has brought tangible benefits to people and companies, improving productivity and helping to create a better balance for employees, which in turn increases your satisfaction and improves your quality of life.

However, the integration of the hybrid model within the business world is not free of important challenges, such as accessing the technological tools and skills necessary for efficient work performance; avoid interruptions and disturbances of work processes; feel disconnected from the organizational culture or manage difficulties in cultivating collaborative relationships with work teams.
Precisely, one of the biggest challenges that companies report when it comes to implementing and integrating a hybrid work model is the disconnection between face-to-face and remote employees, enhanced by the barriers that remote work poses so that these collaborators can really feel part of the team and have an equitable work experience relative to their colleagues who work from the office.
According to Microsoft Work Trend Index 2022, 43% of remote workers report not feeling included in the work dynamics within their companies. Added to this are the difficulties that the hybrid model poses by its very nature in terms of effectively coordinating resources and adapting workspaces to facilitate collaboration between remote and face-to-face employees.

Responding to these challenges, Logitech has thought and designed the solution, with the launch of Logitech Sight, the AI-integrated tabletop camera, which works in conjunction with the Rally Bar and Rally Bar Mini cameras, to intelligently capture the best perspective of participants in any meeting and track conversations as they move around from the conference room.
In today’s hybrid work landscape, Logitech Sight helps bridge the gap between hybrid work teams by giving remote workers a “seat at the table” and an equal experience when meeting their colleagues on the go. in the office.
“In today’s world of hybrid work, the mix of on-site and remote employees poses the challenge of ensuring equitable experiences for all,” explained Scott Wharton, general manager of Logitech Video Collaboration.
“When used in conjunction with the Rally Bar or Rally Bar Mini, the Logitech Sight camera uses artificial intelligence to solve the problem of fairness through a model that is less like Silicon Valley and more like Hollywood: the art of blending. multiple camera angles and smart aiming to bring remote participants into the room”.
Logitech Sight is the latest in a series of innovations designed to create a level playing field for all workers, regardless of whether they choose to collaborate from the office, from home, or elsewhere. This is the new logic of work: develop technology solutions for all people in all spaces. Logitech Sight provides alternate perspectives to Rally Bar or Rally Bar Mini, located at the front of the room, with its AI technology that works by extending audio and video into larger rooms.
With dual 4k cameras and seven streaming microphones, Sight captures conversations and nonverbal cues as they naturally occur.
This promotes greater employee engagement as it helps remote workers feel present, like they have a seat at the table.
Coming soon, Sight will enable Right Sight technology with Smart Switching, adaptive intelligence that selects the best view between the tabletop camera and the front-of-room camera, intuitively switching between different views of personal interactions between those in the meeting and naturally following conversations.
Through integration with leading video conferencing platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet, Logitech Sight makes it easy to use virtual meeting design features such as the Zoom Smart Gallery and the dynamic view of Microsoft Teams. Support for these popular platforms also gives IT teams the assurance that their smart room technology will continue to meet the evolving needs of the hybrid workforce. Logitech Sight is easy to install and comes with included mounting brackets and an integrated cable management system, essential features for IT teams that need to equip collaboration spaces in a flexible and scalable way.
Handling and management of the device is very simple, through Logitech Sync, the free software that allows you to monitor, update and solve technical problems from a cloud-based interface. Sight not only improves the speaker view performance of RightSight 2, but also works with Scribe, Rally Bar and Rally Bar Mini, to help solve one of the biggest challenges of the hybrid workspace: making meetings more equitable. for all. Logitech Sight will be available globally by mid-2023, with an RRP of $1,999.
