Google has partnered with Lenovo to launch a new Meet hardware lineup for video conferencing at the post-pandemic workplaces. Called ‘Google Meet Series One’, the new hardware includes a camera, sound- bar with eight mics and touchscreen remote. “Series One comes with the best of Google AI built in. People can join meetings touch free with their voice, enjoy studio-grade audio through enhanced noise cancellation, and benefit from smart capabilities like automatic participant framing,” said T.J. Varghese, product manager at Google. Series One offers TrueVoice, a multi-channel noise cancellation and voice amplification technology that minimises distractions. The Smart Audio Bar uses 8 beam-forming micro- phones and the largest kit configuration can process up to 44 channels simultaneously.
