The goal of the Poly Experience Program is to create tailored briefing experiences for our customers to showcase how Poly\u2019s professional-grade voice and video gear can solve their organization\u2019s specific collaboration needs. To achieve this goal during a global pandemic that required more virtual and hybrid-style briefings, we dreamed up the idea to use a central camera to highlight multiple vignettes in a single space that could be adjusted quickly as needed \u2013 and our new virtual studio was born! Unlike the heavily engineered green-screen studios that we have used over the past 10 years, this re-imagined location features a unique theater-in-the-round format.<\/p>\n
By mounting our own Poly videoconferencing technology atop a mobile cart positioned centrally in the briefing center, we can now easily swivel the camera to focus on different use-case setups that encircle the room, such as a home office, classroom, doctor\u2019s office or a typical enterprise deployment.<\/p>\n
The reimagining of our virtual studio briefing format lets us accommodate and tailor briefings for our customers across industries and locations. During the pandemic, we received an unprecedented number of virtual briefing requests from customers located in different countries. This inspired us to expand our Virtual Studio model by replicating this setup in Poly Experience Centers throughout the world so we can help more customers in more regions, and in more languages. For customers who aren\u2019t located close to a physical Experience Center, virtual studios provide an opportunity to get a custom briefing experience with Poly.<\/p>\n
