HYDERABAD, INDIA: Polycom, Inc. has announced what it calls 'new breakthroughs' to its portfolio of video, voice and content collaboration solutions. The industry-first audio and video innovations, as Polycom tags them, have been developed to help organisations defy distance, create a culture of effective collaboration, enable ‘always on’ connectivity, and usher in the workplace of the future – today.

It illustrates the Polycom EagleEye Producer here as an industry-first camera innovation that advances facial recognition technology to create a more natural, production-like experience. It dynamically finds everyone in the discussion and automatically frames them for clear view – even when new people join or leave the room, the company explains.

Next it talks about is Polycom NoiseBlock technology, another industry first as it views it; that automatically eliminates extraneous noises such as paper shuffling, crinkling food wrappers and keyboard typing from interrupting conversations. For users on the go, Polycom Acoustic Bubble technology, available in Polycom RealPresence Desktop video collaboration software, automatically removes unwanted noise from a call, including background conversations, city street noise or other peripheral sounds, without the end user having to hover over the mute button.

“Polycom is focused on leading our customers’ success by creating solutions to help them build a collaborative experience that is both natural and easy to use,” said Peter Leav, Polycom President and CEO. “The innovations we have unveiled are a direct reflection of that commitment and our vision to unleash the power of human collaboration. With the right combination of technology, people and processes, organisations can improve productivity, boost innovation and hone their competitive edge.”
