Designed to put focus on people, Google Meet Hardware – Series One by Johan Liden of Aruliden provides product intuition, simplified installation, and ease of use for a fuss-free conferencing experience that’s seamless, inviting, and more human.
Google Meet Hardware – Series One was awarded a 2021 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
The new office needed immersive video solutions that give everyone a seat at the table — no matter where they are.
While video meetings are now the norm, they don’t always feel like we’re together; instead, they can feel, distracting, difficult, or distant.
Series One was born from the need for a discreet, people-focused conferencing system that is purpose-built for Meet on Chrome OS–placing user experience and technology at the forefront.
The result is a comprehensive family of products that create a seamless ecosystem, featuring a number of technological and design innovations that aim to solve any of the familiar and unwelcome grievances with digital conferencing.
A true 4K camera with a large image sensor provides PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) effects digitally so participants are framed clearly—and automatically—using powerful Google AI.
A low profile screen and single cable design allow the touch controller to always be in reach or give the ability to go hands-free with Gey Google voice controls.
A single cable architecture connects Series One components using color-coded cables with RJ45 connectors that make installation easy and cost-effective.
Groundbreaking audio isolation technology can process up to 44 channels, eliminating distracting sounds while amplifying human voices.
With Google Edge TPUs built in, the computing system is made to handle AV workloads along with running the latest in Google AI as efficiently and reliably as possible.
Expanding kits for larger rooms can be done with just an ethernet cable and the tappable Mic Pod, which expands microphone reach and allows for mute/unmute control.
