But if the critical content - the hard detail that's the campfire for your Teams session - sits within a smaller window, then the display size needs to be even larger.

Teams Room installations aspiring to relevance and good user experience in the long term need to have radically larger displays than has been the norm until now.

In most cases this means using projection as Microsoft's own documentation shows, but projection 2022 style: projection done properly. Projection done properly?

It means using standards-curated pairings of ALR (ambient light rejecting) projection surfaces and laser projectors.

It means selecting the screen size and material for each space first, then using that to drive the projector specification using the AXIXA PISCR/ISCR standards.

I've made a short slide deck white paper about this. Email me if you'd like a copy.
