If you have any equipment that you wish we had in our classes, please post a comment on this page. Even if we do not currently carry a particular piece of equipment, we will consider introducing a new piece if we receive a request and determine that there is a need for it.
If you have any requests for "equipment under consideration," we can introduce them in a relatively short period of time. If you have any equipment you would like to use, please let us know in the comments.
Equipment under consideration
Wide-angle Web camera
This webcam with an ultra-wide-angle 150° wide lens can be simply placed on top of a laptop placed on a teaching table to bring the whiteboard or blackboard behind it into the field of view along with the classmate. No tripod is needed, and Zoom classes can be conducted with minimal baggage. Because it works well with classes using wide blackboards, some junior high schools and high schools have introduced this system. However, due to the wide-angle lens, there will be some distortion in the images.
Wireless headset microphone
This microphone is often worn by stage performers and sports instructors, and allows them to speak while moving freely, with both hands free. Compared to a pin microphone, it has the advantage of allowing the user to freely move the direction of the face. This allows the instructor to move freely around the classroom and teach with gestural movements.
Remote camera with AI automatic tracking function
The camera automatically follows the class participants and places them in the camera frame. The system has been introduced at some universities and is used for online broadcasts of classes. It is also useful for creating teaching materials such as pre-recordings of classes.
Consideration of new equipment Bulletin Board
