If nothing but the most technologically advanced webcam will do, then look no further than Microsoft’s new Surface Hub 2 Smart Camera. It’s touted as the company’s first AI-powered camera, as it’s capable of automatically reframing, adjust lighting and enable incredibly wide angles of view, all without any warping, distortions or depth-of-field issues. This allows users to capture and frame exactly what is occurring in the room while being smooth and natural for remote viewers or participants. Read more for a video and additional information.
The camera is able to detect when someone leaves the room, enters or walks up to interact with the Surface Hub 2 display, all the while keeping everyone in the room in view and focus. On the technical side, it boasts a 12-megapixel sensor with a stellar 136° field of view lens, 1 Teraflop of compute power (a trillion floating point calculations per second), and Microsoft’s proprietary new algorithm to automatically compensate for tilt, distortions or wide-angle corrections. Available now directly from Microsoft, priced at $799.99 USD by itself or $21,999.99 with the Surface Hub 2S (May 31st release).

For years, Microsoft has invested in hardware and software solutions to meet emerging customer needs. Years ago, we envisioned a concept we referred to as the ‘magic window,’ a suite of technologies and techniques, which, at its simplest form, was about connecting people and removing barriers of geography and communication style,” said Microsoft.
