Noro Wins “Best of Show” at ISE 2025 — A New World of Life-Size Collaboration
We’re honored to share that Noro has been awarded “Best of Show” by AV Technology at ISE 2025, the world’s leading exhibition for integrated AV systems with more than 1,300 exhibitors and 80,000+ attendees. The recognition highlights the growing need for tools that move beyond small screens and fragmented presence—toward a richer, more human experience of remote collaboration.

What Is Noro?
Noro is a life-size, spatial video system that brings remote teammates into the room—without headsets, without avatars. It’s being used by global firms to reimagine everything from product reviews to onboarding, from client pitches to cross-office meals. Participants describe “feeling like they’re in the same room” when using Noro Portals.
In a 3-month pilot with a leading consulting firm, the results spoke for themselves:
- 99% user satisfaction
- 84% said they would use Noro to replace frequent travel
- 14 trips avoided, saving $60,000 and 80 tons of CO₂
Meetings held through Noro weren’t quick check-ins—they were high-value engagements:
- Average call length: 82 minutes
- 25% of calls exceeded 100 minutes
- Longest call: 8 hours
Why Noro Matters Now
The recognition from AV Technology comes at a time when organizations are actively rethinking how to collaborate in a hybrid world. For IT, Facilities, HR, and AV leaders, Noro addresses three growing challenges:
Zoom Fatigue Is Real
A Stanford-led study found that virtual teams generate fewer novel ideas than those meeting in person. Noro restores the spatial cues—eye contact, body language, co-presence—that make creative and strategic work possible.
Cut Carbon and Costs
Corporate travel is being permanently reduced to meet climate goals. With Noro, organizations are avoiding expensive flights and hotel stays while reducing Scope 3 emissions—without sacrificing connection.
Foster Company Culture
According to HBR, only 19% of leaders believe virtual meetings are effective for building culture—yet more than 90% of employees want to stay hybrid. Noro helps bridge that gap with a shared, full-body presence that actually feels social.
What Our Users Say
“I found myself more present, free of distractions from my computer screen. I found myself more energized leaving the meeting, not being drained from multitasking during our call.”
— Managing Director, Real Estate Company
“It was a fantastic experience. I had doubted it would feel different from Zoom, but it was night and day. We were really productive, and felt like we had quality time with people in London.”
