Better places to meet Creating a comfortable environment in your meeting rooms pays real dividends in terms of helping people concentrate and improving productivity. The Windows collaboration display from Sharp has built-in sensors that can connect to the Microsoft Azure Digital Twins IoT platform, and other commercially available cloud and subscription services such as Sharp Synappx WorkSpaces as part of a smart building environment. IoT sensors • Occupancy - a motion sensor detects the presence of any people in the room. An additional artificial intelligence (AI) service can analyze this data and count the numbers of people. Further AI services could automatically switch on displays and other equipment to enable a faster setup and help improve the scheduling of room bookings. During a meeting, the sensor can also be used by another AI service to detect the location of whoever is speaking and control a three-dimensional microphone array to focus on the relevant person. • Temperature - its intelligent climate measurement can be used by an AI service to automatically regulate the room temperature and relative humidity to make the room feel more comfortable. By intelligently optimizing the operation of the air-conditioning it also helps reduce costs. • Light - an ambient light sensor helps with intelligent lighting control, as it automatically measures the level of light. An AI service could then adjust the in-room lighting system with changing day and night conditions, which can reduce eye strain and may save money on wasted energy. • Air quality - the Windows collaboration display continually measures and analyzes the ambient air quality* in the meeting room and can assist another AI service in automatically adjusting the air-conditioning to provide the best possible working environment. * Measure the levels of eCO2 (Equivalent Carbon Dioxide) and TVOC (Total Volatile Organic Compounds).
