<\/p>\nMicrosoft just demonstrated a meeting room of the future at the company\u2019s Build developer conference. Meeting rooms, conference calls, and meetings in general are usually the stuff of nightmares, but Microsoft is working on prototype hardware that will make meetings a lot easier. Microsoft\u2019s meeting room demonstration is seriously impressive, and provides a glimpse of what\u2019s possible in the future.<\/p>\n
It all starts with a 360-degree camera and microphone array that can detect anyone in a meeting room, greet them, and even transcribe exactly what they say in a meeting regardless of language. Microsoft has been working on translation features for Skype for years, and the meeting room of the future includes this technology.<\/p>\n

Microsoft takes the meeting room scenario even further, though. The company is using its artificial intelligence tools to then act on what meeting participants say. If someone says \u201cI\u2019ll follow up with you next week,\u201d then they\u2019ll get a notification in Microsoft Teams, Microsoft\u2019s Slack competitor, to actually act on that promise. Cortana already does this in Windows 10, but this feature makes a lot of sense in a meeting room scenario.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not clear when this meeting room scenario will become a reality, but Microsoft\u2019s demo seemed to transcribe participants accurately and identified them well. Microsoft has promised\u00a0new Surface Hub displays in the first half of 2018, and it\u2019s easy to imagine that a future Surface Hub could be the ideal device for Microsoft\u2019s wild meeting room.<\/p>\n
