I’m at another @ExertisAlmo #E4Experience education session featuring @gkayye. This time, he’s talking about how @MicrosoftTeams Rooms will help shape #avtweeps’ future. He’s talking about the rise of wider aspect ratios, which proponents say better fit human visual processing.
@DanFerrisiEdit @ExertisAlmo @gkayye @MicrosoftTeams Except then the room has to be deeper to allow the same number of folks to sit farther back and be able to see the whole screen without moving their heads...there's a reason only the late people sit in the front row at the movie theater.
@Vegas_AV_Ace @DanFerrisiEdit @ExertisAlmo @gkayye @MicrosoftTeams But because of image height, they can't sit too far back. There is a reason all of the MTR marketing material shows a 15-foot wide screen with 6 chairs in front of it.
@Vegas_AV_Ace @DanFerrisiEdit @ExertisAlmo @gkayye @MicrosoftTeams Perfect example. This is the ideal scenario, and looks nothing like the majority of spaces that this solution is being pushed.
@Lsdarling1 @Vegas_AV_Ace @ExertisAlmo @gkayye @MicrosoftTeams You make great, data-based points in this thread. I’m not knowledgeable enough about the math behind viewing distances to make any independent assessment here. I’ll report what they say; bigger-brained #avtweeps can decide. 😂
@Lsdarling1 @Vegas_AV_Ace @DanFerrisiEdit @ExertisAlmo @gkayye @MicrosoftTeams With 21:9 MTR deployments this becomes increasingly worse during content sharing if you are using the front row view. It’s great for meeting equity but the content onscreen is ~2/3 of the display height due to the layout, requiring larger screens than our standard calc would show
