The modern workplace
The modern workplace offers different spaces to bring people together. These spaces don’t have the proper tools to help people work together—either they’re purely analog (whiteboards) or don’t allow full participation (large monitors).
Unique ergonomics
Some areas of a large screen are easier to reach. Other areas are more difficult.
Proximity to device also affects how much of the screen you can see.
These unique ergonomics influenced where we position and surface different elements of the experience.
The Surface Hub lights up in-person and remote collaboration with immersive meetings, real-time white boarding, and ability to share content from your personal device.
Quickly join a scheduled meeting, no authentication required.
