HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., Dec. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Huddle rooms provide
a great blend of a casual meeting place and a productive working
area. One of the main reasons they are able to foster collaboration
so well is because of their AV technology setup and the design of
the room focusing around that technology. However, not all huddle
rooms are created equally! Video conferencing equipment
supplier, IVCi, breaks down the design aspects needed for a
successful huddle room below.
- Simplicity. The technology and layout of the room needs to be
simple enough for people to use quickly and easily. Try to avoid
equipment with a lot of buttons and wires that could take a long
time to set up. Offer options that allow users to simply plug in
and go, or share their content wirelessly.
- Visibility. The camera in your huddle room must be designed to
capture the size and shape of your room. Select a wide angle
120-degree camera rather than a 90-degree camera to ensure that
everyone in the room can be seen.
- Camera placement. If cameras are placed right above or below
the display, it can create a disconnect between sides since users
cannot look at the display and at the camera at the same time.
Raise the display enough to where the camera can be mounted below
the display at approximately eye height (when seated). Be sure to
test the camera height to make sure that nobody's head gets cut off
by the camera placement.
- Quality of audio. Audio quality is just as important as video
quality in a huddle room. If you cannot hear the other party, it is
impossible to work with them. Consider a setup that includes
beamforming mics, echo cancellation, noise suppression, and other
characteristics designed for smaller spaces.
- Environment of the room. The room's environment and design is
important for successful huddle rooms. Try to avoid stark white
walls or visual clutter within the camera's line of sight.
Additionally, make sure the lighting is good for video calls and
that there aren't a lot of reflective surfaces. Whenever possible,
include noise-reducing carpet and acoustic wall coverings.
These features will ensure your huddle room is set up to be a
successful space.
