The Surface Hub 3 Feature Set
Surface Hub 3 provides an integrated, enhanced Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows experience, bridging the gulf between remote and in-office participants so that everyone on a call is engaged via video, audio, and interactive content sharing.
Advanced features like Front Row create more immersive collaboration between in-person and virtual meeting participants so users can see people, content and chat simultaneously.
The Surface Hub 3's 20-point multi-touch, dual-pen active inking and high-quality optics provide an excellent user experience. Its 4K screen and intelligent camera also provide clarity and focus whether a user is in the meeting room or joining remotely.
Surface Hub 3 offers versatility for users to rotate the device to Portrait or physically roll it into other locations to accommodate different meeting rooms, with an upgradeable modular design.
