“Increasing Adoption of Intelligent Systems”
- Intelligent systems are increasingly being used in modern meeting rooms, where smart cameras such as Logitech Rally and Poly Studio auto-track speakers, adjust framing, and focus based on voice direction and movement, enhancing virtual meeting experiences in companies such as Microsoft and Salesforce
- In educational environments, universities such as Harvard and Stanford are using smart lecture capture tools such as Panopto and Echo360 that follow instructors automatically, transcribe lectures using artificial intelligence, and organize content for easy student access
- For instance, Harvard's hybrid classroom setup incorporates Panopto to capture both live and remote lectures, ensuring a smooth learning experience for all students
- Predictive maintenance is now common in audio visual setups, with platforms such as Crestron XiO Cloud used by large enterprises to monitor device status, detect anomalies, and trigger alerts before failures occur, reducing system downtime and improving efficiency
- For instance, large corporations such as Google use these platforms to proactively manage their AV systems in conference rooms across multiple offices
- Intelligent voice-activated assistants are integrated into audio visual control systems, with instances such as Amazon Alexa for Business and Google Assistant being deployed in coworking spaces such as WeWork to manage lights, displays, and room controls hands-free
- Machine learning algorithms are analyzing user behavior in real time to create personalized environments, such as adaptive sound systems in Dolby Atmos-equipped theaters or AI-based lighting and acoustic adjustments in hybrid learning spaces at MIT and other advanced campuses
