Ocular™ is a collection of tables designed for hybrid collaboration. Unique table shapes improve sightlines, creating a more equitable experience for in person and remote meeting participants.
Rethink your Hybrid Meeting Rooms
Ocular tables were designed to accommodate the increasing need for video conferences in meeting rooms and hybrid collaboration spaces.
The organic shapes allow everyone – whether in the room or elsewhere – to see, connect and meet better.
Designed for Hybrid Work
Ocular table shapes were intentionally designed around three key sightlines for people participating in a virtual meeting – people to people, people to screens, people to cameras.
People to People
Conversation and collaboration should feel natural and comfortable between people around a conference table.
People to Screens
When meeting or content sharing, everyone should have a good experience and view of the screen.
People to Camera
The room’s camera should capture everyone in the room so that remote attendees can feel connected and engaged during video conferences.
New Hybrid Shapes
Traditional office room layouts are biased toward in-room collaboration and create sightline challenges and obstructed views. Designers are rethinking traditional norms to improve collaboration spaces for hybrid work.
Portrait to Landscape
A shift from portrait (facing the short wall) to landscape (facing the long wall) allows people on both sides of the camera to see and be seen. Everyone in the room is equidistant to the camera. Remote participants can see facial expressions and body language.
Corners to Curves
The curvature of the table ensures that every in-room participant can also see one another in addition to being at eye level with remote colleagues. That eye-to-eye view creates more equity between those in-room and remote.
Away From The Wall
Pulling the table away from the wall that hosts the technology also improves sightlines between in-person and remote participants.
Ocular™ Coupe Features
Power Pods
Weighted power pods plug to devices and keep the cords from falling into the table when not being used.
Aperture
A universal aperture opening allows routing access for power, microphones, and meeting controllers.
Tech Door
A hidden tech door in the drum base keeps technology hidden away.
Ocular™ Arc Features
Curved Shape
The curvature of the table ensures that every in-room participant can also see one another in addition to being at eye level with remote colleagues.
Angled Leg
The table’s front-angled leg allows people to easily sit side-by-side without knocking into a traditional table leg.
Modesty Panel
A modesty panel in front of the table keeps everyone’s eyes above the table and focused on the conversation.
Integrated Power
Pop-up power units support user needs for USB-A, USB-C and standard plug power.
One-Touch-Join Ready
A 2.5” grommet hole is included in the center section of the table to support a flush mounted Room Controller or any BYOD meeting cable(s).
Collection Features
Insights-Led Experience
The Ocular Collection features designs inspired by research and insights to create an equitable and engaging experience for both in-person and remote attendees.
Integrated Cable Management
Steelcase has partnered with tech leaders to design, develop and integrate unique power and meeting solutions that enhance hybrid workspaces across the floor plan.
Cable Housing, Routing and Mounting
Ocular products provide easy to access housing, routing and mounting features that reduce clutter, improve space use, and offer flexibility for all users.
Hybrid Design
Ocular™ was co-designed and developed with Microsoft for the Microsoft Teams Front Row experience (pictured above.) The focus on hybrid collaboration from its inception means it can benefit other hybrid meeting spaces as well using any number of software platforms.
Microsoft Partnership
Steelcase and Microsoft have been working together since 2017 to thoughtfully integrate place and technology to create better spaces, co-design products and explore how individuals and teams can do their best work.
