\u201cFrom day one of Surface Hub 2, we knew we were going to make our cameras smart,\u201d explains Steven Bathiche, who oversees all hardware innovation for Microsoft devices, in an interview with The Verge<\/em>. Microsoft\u2019s surprise $799.99 Surface Hub 2 Smart Camera<\/a> debuted last week, offering automatic reframing without the warping and distortions you might typically see on other conference room cameras.<\/p>\n

It can detect faces and bodies, in an effort to make sure everyone in a room is visible during meetings whether they\u2019re close to the camera or up to eight meters away. The Surface Hub 2 Smart Camera is able to pretty much see an entire conference room thanks to its 136-degree field of view, which keeps the people at the front in focus alongside those in the back.<\/p>\n

Microsoft had always planned to upgrade its Surface Hub 2 camera before the pandemic put hybrid meetings into focus, that\u2019s why it\u2019s modular and can be detached from the top of the 55- or 85-inch displays. \u201cWe knew we were going to evolve the experience. We didn\u2019t know exactly how, but we knew that was going to change and needed to change with people\u2019s needs, the evolution of the conference room, and even how our culture will essentially adapt towards meetings,\u201d says Bathiche.<\/p>\n

Large devices like the 85-inch Surface Hub 2 presented challenges for capturing everyone in a meeting room with a traditional camera. \u201cWe needed a camera to handle bigger rooms,\u201d says Bathiche, so Microsoft got to work.<\/p>\n
