Video conferencing has become a vital tool in 2020, as the pandemic and quarantine measures have forced nearly all of us to work from home. Zoom leads this market space with their cloud video conferencing tool and now, they are launching a new category called Zoom for Home, that will release dedicated hardware devices for an upgraded home office experience.
The first device to be launched is an all-in-one personal collaboration device, called the DTEN ME. It is a 27-inch touch display that includes 3 built-in smart cameras for video and an 8-microphone array for clear voice recording. The device is designed to have easy, one-touch video meetings, crystal clear phone calls, seamless content sharing, interactive whiteboarding, and co-annotation.
Zoom for Home devices will share many features with its enterprise focussed offering too. These include the ability to start ad-hoc or scheduled meetings, sync with the user’s calendar, status, meeting settings, and even be set up to be IT-managed remotely. The DTEN ME is also great for educators who wish conduct classes with audio-enhanced whiteboarding and co-annotation capabilities.
The DTEN ME is available for pre-order in the US starting today, with shipping expected to start in August 2020, for a price of $599 (Approx. Rs. 45,071)
