What do AI, Immersive Experiences, and Impactful Spaces Have in Common?
Nationwide AV had a great time attending the InfoComm show in Las Vegas, NV in June. As always, the show did not disappoint with the amount of technology and innovation that was available. Now that we’ve had a minute to recover, we want to highlight the three trends we saw at the show.
Trend 1: AI
Of course, artificial intelligence was a hot topic at the show. There were daily discussions on the topic and many manufacturers that have incorporated AI in their products were showing them as well.
As organizations move towards providing phygital experiences for their employees, AI will provide a big role in automating repetitive tasks and enabling employee feedback. As artificial intelligence is baked into more products, users will be able to have smarter meetings and boost their productivity.
Don’t assume AI is just for corporate organizations, educational institutions can benefit as well.
Trend 2: Immersive Experiences
When we think about an immersive experience, we often think of what we can see visually. And we were not disappointed with the amount of immersive experiences that were available as we walked the show floor.
One that stood out visually was the MixRealms, Inc. kinetic screen that had the actual LED tiles moving to create the image. Check out the video.
However, we were delighted to also hear immersive experiences. When we stopped at the Holoplot booth we learned that they are a part of the audio experience at the Sphere.
We also noticed that the immersive experiences trend aligned with the concept of “hidden technology” to provide a better user experience—users can focus on the experience and not the technology.
Trend 3: Impactful Spaces
Another theme we noticed on the show floor was the nod towards creating impactful spaces to provide employees with the opportunity to be creative, productive, or wind down with calming activities.
We’re noticing that organizations are installing sensory rooms to help employees control their environment, escape stimuli, and reduce stress.
