Logitech's Project Ghost videoconferencing booth, designed in collaboration with Steelcase, aims to enhance video calls and make them feel less impersonal. The booth uses a teleprompter-like approach to beam the chat buddy's face onto a pane of glass that's recessed in the booth directly in front of the user. The camera is positioned at eye level to preserve natural eye contact during video calls, and the furniture and interior layout can be customized. Project Ghost is estimated to cost between $15,000 and $20,000 and is expected to be available for purchase this fall.
Logitech has teamed up with furniture maker Steelcase to create Project Ghost, a video conferencing booth that uses existing technology to make video chats feel more like real-world conversations. The booth features a large screen and a mirror that creates the illusion of eye contact, while warm colors, soft curves, and greenery make it feel inviting. The booth is designed for office spaces and is estimated to cost between $15,000 to $20,000 per unit. Logitech is looking into iterating on the design to make it more suitable for different scenarios.
