The invention relates to a meeting table.
A meeting table is usually designed in such a way that a plurality of people can comfortably interact with each other from respective positions distributed around the table.
However, increasingly often, in meeting rooms, videoconference systems are connected to the above-mentioned tables.
The invention will now be described, by way of example only and without limiting the scope of the inventive concept, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a meeting table made according to the invention and in a closed configuration;
FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 are respective perspective views of the table of FIG. 1 in an open configuration allowing a telepresence meeting;
In FIGS. 1 to 7, the numeral 1 denotes a meeting table with an integrated, retractable remote conference system 2, in particular a telepresence system.
The table 1 and the system 2 form an equipped, transportable and ready-to-use structure 3, in which both the hardware and the software of the system 2 are already set up so that the user can rapidly make use of them. For this purpose the structure 3 interfaces with the outside environment by means of at least one electrical input section 4, at least one input/output section 5 for data reception and transmission using standard IP technology, and a module 6 for interfacing with the user, preferably of the portable, wireless and touch screen type.
The table 1 comprises a horizontal top 7, its upper surface 8 forming a working area, and a plurality of legs 9 supporting the top 7.
