Apple picker Press Release: Logitech today introduced Logitech Sight, an AI-powered desktop camera that works with the Rally Bar or Rally Bar Mini to intelligently capture the best perspective of meeting participants and track their movements around the conference room. In today's hybrid work environment, in which 43% of remote employees say they don't feel fulfilled inclusion. Logitech Sight helps bridge the gap between hybrid teams by giving remote workers a "desktop" experience when meeting with office colleagues online.
"We are no longer all at home in the same large "video boxes" as we were during the height of the pandemic. In today's working world, the number of remote workers has increased and so has the hybrid meeting experience," said Scott Wharton, CEO of Logitech Video Collaboration.
“Logitech Sight, when used with the Rally Bar or Rally Bar Mini, uses AI to solve this problem with a model that is less Silicon Valley and more Hollywood. The art of using multiple camera angles and intelligent pointing will bring remote participants more into the physical space. Our customers have told us that this is one of the biggest issues with hybrid work that needs to be addressed to make the team work better. Based on years of research and timely feedback from customers, we believe we have broken the ice on this critical issue for organizations of all sizes to manage.”

Logitech Sight is the latest in a series of innovations designed to level the playing field for all workers, whether they choose to work from the office, home or anywhere else. This is what our work has been all about: designing technological solutions for all people in all spaces.
As an artificial intelligence camera, Logitech Sight provides alternative perspectives—by extending audio and video into larger rooms—to the Rally Bar or Rally Bar Mini at the front of the room. With 4K cameras and 7 beamforming microphones, Sight captures conversation and non-verbals clearly. This ultimately increases employee participation and engagement by helping remote participants feel like they are actually sitting at the table. Later after launch, Sight will enable RightSight with intelligent switching, adaptive intelligence that selects the best view between the tabletop camera and the camera at the front of the room, intuitively switches between camera views for personal interactions, and follows conversations naturally.
Sight works with leading video conferencing platforms like Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet, making it easy to use hybrid meeting features like Zoom Smart Gallery and Microsoft Teams. Compatibility with popular platforms also gives IT teams confidence that their smart room technology will continue to meet the evolving needs of their hybrid workforce.
Logitech Sight is easy to install with included brackets and integrated cable management—a critical feature for IT teams that need to equip collaboration spaces in a flexible and scalable way. Management is simple with Logitech Sync, free software that allows device monitoring, updating and troubleshooting from a cloud interface. Logitech Sight is backward compatible with the Rally Bar and Rally Bar Mini, so IT teams can confidently deploy this new technology into their existing devices.
Not only does Sight enhance the RightSight 2 Speaker View, but it works with Scribe, Rally Bar and Rally Bar Mini to help solve one of the most pressing challenges in today's hybrid workplace: making meetings fairer for everyone.
Approach to sustainability
Logitech is committed to creating a more sustainable world by actively working to reduce its carbon footprint. That's why the Logitech Sight will be partially manufactured using lower-impact materials, such as post-consumer recycled plastics and low-carbon aluminum. And if possible, it will be delivered in packaging from responsible sources.
Price and availability
Logitech Sight will be available worldwide in mid-2023 for a suggested retail price of €2.399,00. (CZK 59)
