Thinking Big Together.
Polycom RealPresence was the result of a new product branding initiative for Polycom. Polycom is a leader in video conferencing and prides itself on producing the highest quality products. We developed a design language that would reflect the internal quality of the product on the outside. The ‘Art of Communication’ design language recognizes there is more to a conversation than just being connected. With its superior product technology, Polycom allows people to feel closer and stay engaged longer. This is critical in the enterprise space where clear efficient communication is essential to making the right decision. Polycom’s RealPresence Group Series includes: HD Codec, EagleEye IV Camera, EagleEye Acoustic Camera, Polycom Group Microphone Array and rechargeable Remote (shown in rendering).
The RealPresence Touch is a desktop video conferencing controller. It is the sole interaction point for the video system. Touch was inspired by a simple observation: Interacting with the controller can be conducted from either a seated or standing position. To meet this ergonomic specification, the big idea was to provide different screen angles without the use of an adjustable stand. The device can be set to 20 and 60 degrees, causing it to “flip-flop” or “rock and roll.” The lower configuration allows for users to operate the controller from a standing position. The simplicity of the form allows the product to be configured in either orientation without complexity, cost and the fuss of an adjustable stand.
