Zoom video communications on Wednesday have announced the launch of a 27-inch touch screen display aimed at remote workers. Priced at $599, the ‘Zoom for Home’ was touted as a combination of hardware and software designed for working remotely. The device comes pre-installed with the Zoom video app and will ship in August.

The tablet encompasses three smart webcams and eight noise-reducing built-in microphones. Silicon Valley-based Zoom collaborated with videoconferencing firm DTEN on the displays and its hardware. Zoom promised the giant, tablet-like devices will work “out of the box,” as long as users have a license to use the service.

The Zoom for Home tablet is targeted at business professionals/workers working from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
