Huddly Edge AI
Restricted mobility. Eye fatigue. Difficulty hearing. These are just a few of many hybrid meeting complaints. Thankfully, there is a solution. If you have ever experienced online meeting fatigue, Huddly Edge AI technology will be a godsend!
Let’s explore exactly how it works, applications, and some of the benefits your organisation can enjoy with a Huddly installation.
Edge AI Technology Explained
Huddly Intelligence Edge AI uses machine learning that is built into or alongside compatible Huddly devices. It’s a clever technology that can not only detect participants but also interpret activity within the meeting room to select an appropriate view or audio track as the proceedings develop.
Camera Systems
Remote participants have as close as possible to the same experience as those who are in the room. For instance, if somebody gets up to leave the room during a meeting, Edge AI technology will automatically detect this and switch to a group view. In the words of Huddly,
“Edge AI transforms our cameras into sensors that see, understand, and automatically adapt to the flow of your meeting.”
Speaker Mode

Collaboration Mode

Group Framing
On Huddly C1, IQ, S1 and L1
The camera detects the people in its entire field of view and intelligently frames them for the best experience.
Perspective Correction
On Huddly Crew, C1, L1 and S1
Fixes wide-angle lens and perspective distortions to provide a natural, true-to-life view of people and spaces.
Framing Zone
On Huddly C1, L1 and S1
Set the dimensions of your meeting space so only participants are framed.
Audio systems
Edge AI also improves the clarity and consistency of meeting-room audio. The Huddly C1, for instance, uses a 16-microphone array and AI processing to optimise voice pickup, helping remote participants hear people clearly wherever they sit in the room.
Benefits of Edge AI
Edge AI helps create meeting experiences that feel more natural for everyone, whether they are in the room or joining remotely. Here are some of the benefits:
More natural meetings
Automatic framing and camera switching follow the flow of the conversation without requiring participants to control the system manually or focus in an unnatural way. Participants can therefore focus on what matters most: having a productive and truly collaborative conversation.
Clearer communication
AI-enhanced microphones improve voice pickup and reduce distracting sounds, making conversations easier to follow.
More inclusive experience
Intelligent audio and video features help remote attendees see, hear, and engage with people in the meeting room more effectively. This means that remote participants are less likely to feel confused or out of the loop if something happens in the room outside a typical webcam field of vision.
