Huddly’s contribution centers on its AI-powered camera technology, designed to create a more inclusive and natural experience for remote attendees. The Huddly C1 videobar utilizes on-device AI to dynamically frame speakers in “Speaker Mode” or capture group interactions in “Collaboration Mode.” Advanced image processing, including real-time de-warping and intelligent exposure adjustment, ensures clear visuals in various environments.
