Hey Product Hunters! 👋 Owl Labs here! We build 360° video conferencing solutions for hybrid teams to level the playing field between remote and in-person employees, and we’re thrilled to announce the launch of our newest product: the Whiteboard Owl™ camera. When paired with the Meeting Owl Pro, our award-winning smart 360° video conferencing camera, the Whiteboard Owl enables everyone to see the whiteboard during hybrid meetings. How it works: The Whiteboard Owl uses computer vision technology to enhance the view of the whiteboard for remote participants. When in use, the Whiteboard Owl’s proprietary Whiteboard Enhance software increases clarity, reduces shadows, and makes the presenter transparent so writing on the board is always visible to remote participants. It also automatically captures high-resolution whiteboard images so meeting participants can follow along and download notes to keep collaborating when the meeting ends. The tech specs: The Whiteboard Owl supports whiteboards up to 15’x20’ in size and can be set up within 7-16 feet of the in-room whiteboard. It can be mounted on the wall, ceiling, or a tripod for greater setup flexibility. The Whiteboard Owl’s camera has 1080p output resolution to deliver clear images for remote participants, and it can be easily activated by flipping over one of the included magnetic Whiteboard Tags that users place in opposite corners of the whiteboard. To learn more about the Whiteboard Owl, check out our site to read about use cases, specs, and customer stories. Can’t wait to hear what you think! – Mark 🦉

It's a great product! I've been waiting for something like this for a long time However, it's pretty expensive. Why do I have to buy hardware? Isn't it possible to implement this as just software working with regular high-quality webcams?

In the hybrid world we are living this is a game changer. The owl team are execution machines. I have had the pleasure of knowing them from the very early pre funding days and always impressed by them!
