Fitting huddle rooms with audio and video isn't as simple as taking an offering meant for the boardroom and putting it in a smaller space. Due to their size, huddle rooms present a unique set of challenges such as camera framing and audio sensitivity. While an audio/video offering for a boardroom may not be the right fit, certain features considered native to the boardroom can enhance the UX for huddle rooms. While huddle rooms may be growing in number, a study from San Antonio-based research firm, Frost & Sullivan, found fewer than 3% of these rooms are video equipped. Insufficient huddle room technology can lead to poor experiences that look like a small group of people crowded around a laptop.

We will use the Google AIY Vision Kit to show a real world example of how to setup AI and discuss competing frameworks (CNTK, Tensorflow, Pytorch, etc.) The objective of this session will be to help attendees understand the field of AI, tools of the trade and how to get started as a developer. Please feel free to bring your own Google AIY Vision kit but this is not a requirement since most of the material will be showcasing the technology and not a hands-on lab.

Joe shows how to use your current Business Intelligence reporting tools such as Excel, Power BI, Pyramid, Tableau, SQL Reporting Services, etc, to implement Azure Machine Learning Services for Vision, Speech, Language, Decision and Search analysis projects.
