New style of meeting room

New style of meeting room
(A meeting room based on school class room)
.
When, a few decades ago, I first time entered meeting room with a long table and a lot of chairs beside/around it, I was amazed. After that I saw that type of meeting room a lot of times but only on TV. Every time I saw that kind of room on tv I noticed a problem. And that problem was that in almost all photos or videos meeting members sitting beside table were trying to bend forward or backward to get a better view of the object of interest (either main person of meeting sitting on one of narrow sides of table or some projector screen placed on other side). Therefore this problem was mainly responsible for making it difficult for meeting members sitting on chairs farther than their chair from object of interest (either main person of meeting or some projector screen) to have a proper view of main person of meeting. In some other situation meeting members were seen simply looking at the person sitting on the opposite side of the table "Some times having view of their dreams".
.
So I started to think on that problem from that time.
.
At start idea was to have a meeting room like a simple school class room. With main person of meeting, with his helpers, sitting on one side of room were teacher sit/stand and other meeting members sitting on other side like students of class. But a problem of this arrangement was how to make perfect arrangement for both groups. So that irrespective of number of members in both group meeting room serve it's purpose correctly. For example if room's total capacity is 100 person and if there are (a) 50/50 (b) 10/90 (c) 90/10 (d) 'n/m' members in both groups. Than how can room serve it’s purpose without major rearrangement of seats etc.
.
Now I do not know how and when but I did make an idea to solve that problem. May be my brain kept thinking and mixed different things together.
.
So I reached on an idea of a meeting-room with wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling mirror installed on it's one wall (Front wall). And all seats installed in front of this wall on stair like floor, so that members sitting on any seat can have proper view of the front wall. In this arrangement all persons involved in meeting will be able to see any other member during meeting without any problem.
.
And after some time, may be years, that idea improved. In this idea simple mirror was replaced with special kind of mirror called screen now, opaque from inside of meeting room and transparent from other/opposite side of screen. From inside meeting room this screen will act like a TV/cinema like screen. On other side will be another room with camera, computers and other useful gadgets. It will be up to meeting members to view themselves on screen like in previous version or view some presentation or some video or mix of these all in any combination or view nothing at all on screen.
.

If there are any mistakes then I will surely remove them whenever found.
