Using Gestures For Control Like It's 2009 | AVWeek 765

About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of AI-ready spaces and the evolution of control interfaces in the AV industry.

“AI-ready” isn’t a feature, it’s a test of whether your room works in the first place. That shift is putting pressure on the entire collaboration experience… but are we solving the fundamentals or chasing the label? And as interfaces disappear into walls, are we simplifying control or introducing new friction? The video version of this podcast can be found here. Host Tim Albright and his panel of AV industry experts bring you another must-watch AVWeek episode, unpacking the reality behind AI-ready spaces and the practicality of embedded touch interfaces.
