“We are sitting almost against the wall, very close, and there is no blind spot from the camera,” Ling Lu, Director, Global Product Marketing at Jabra, explained to Image Matrix Tech.
“So all of us is very well captured by the camera, and there is no distortion. All of our body language or facial expression can be seen and engaged by others. So this is the beauty of this camera. So it’s purposefully designed to solve the problem of this small huddle space.”
