The latest technology for interactive whiteboards supports people in meetings by responding to voice commands, recording notes and annotations and even translating them into other languages if required.Faster, better and more informedThe intelligent meeting solution combines IBM Watson IoT technology with Ricoh's user-friendly interactive whiteboard, transforming the way teams collaborate with voice control and more. But Watson not only listens, it is also an active meeting participant that can use real-time analytics to guide discussions and help teams make faster, better and more informed decisions.Voice control and translationThe following features are integrated into the new cognitive whiteboard solution:- Simple, global voice control for meetings: Every participant, regardless of whether they are on site or connected remotely, can easily control what is shown on the screen using voice commands. This includes, for example, scrolling through presentation slides using voice commands.- Translation of meeting discussions into another language: The intelligent workplace solution can translate the speakers' words into various other languages. The translation is either displayed on the screen or created as a transcript.- Easy-to-join meetings: By touching a button, the solution logs participation in the meeting and tracks the most important agenda items. This ensures that all relevant topics are discussed.- Recording of side discussions: During a meeting, team members can have side discussions that are displayed on the same whiteboard.Bringing meetings to life"Teamwork is at the heart of any successful business. The challenge is to bring diverse teams together and help them work productively," explains Harriet Green, General Manager, Watson IoT. With IBM Watson IoT technology, Ricoh's interactive whiteboards don't just accompany meetings; "they encourage an open exchange of ideas and make it easier for teams to work in partnership and bring meetings to life. "IBM is installing more than 80 Ricoh interactive whiteboards at its new global Watson IoT headquarters in Munich. This will enable IBM teams in Munich to hold productive meetings with colleagues in other locations such as Japan, Brazil and the Americas.
