Seating Configuration

A recent department meeting was held in a conference room with dozens of folding chairs. I ended up near the back, and I found myself staring at the back of the head of the person sitting in front of me. There was no comfortable way for me to sit so that I could see the speaker at the front of the room.
That got me to thinking about how the seats could be arranged to improve sight lines.
Problem:
If the audience were somewhat transparent, it would be okay because you could see through them in order to see the speaker. Like this:
But they’re not, so sitting directly behind people is a problem.
One that can be easily solved though.
All you need to do is offset each row by half a chair.
Solution A:
Maybe it would be better to offset each row by a third of a chair.
Solution B:
If you’re ever in charge of setting up a conference room for an audience, be sure to stagger the chairs a bit. Thanks.
They sat down in groups of hundreds and of fifties.

You could also have the speaker walk in on stilts.

Stilts might work. It would be cheaper than hiring a camera crew and having screens off to each side.
On second thought, how about stadium seating for the audience? Install risers for the rows…

Love your idea. So simple yet workable
