Adaptive Room Technology (ART)

Adaptive Room Technology (ART) refers to intelligent AV + environmental control systems that automatically adjust a room’s audio, video, lighting, climate, and layout based on occupancy, activity, and user preference—without manual intervention.

Adaptive Room Technology allows a room to detect what is happening and change itself accordingly
It is commonly used in:
  1. Meeting rooms / Huddle rooms
  2. Classrooms / Training rooms
  3. Multi-purpose halls / Divisible rooms
  4. Smart homes and hospitality spaces
What It Does example:
  • Walk into a room → system senses presence → turns on lights, AC, display
  • Start a presentation → projector/screen lowers, audio mode switches
  • More people enter → mic gain & speaker volume auto-adjust
  • Room combined or divided → camera framing, DSP routing, display source routing adapts
  • Different meeting types (video call, in-person, training) → presets automatically load
How It Works (Step-by-Step)
1) Detect - Room senses who are inside and what they are doing.
2) Analyze - System identifies the meeting style / room mode / number of people / acoustics / light levels.
3) Decide - Based on rules or AI:
  • “This is a Teams Call”
  • “Room is combined”
  • “Training Mode”
  • “Only 1 person – Focus Mode”
4) Adapt (Automatic Actions)
  • Change lighting scenes
  • Adjust screen layout & displays
  • Re-route audio zones and mic AEC
  • Reconfigure AV switching
  • Turn AC to comfort mode
  • Camera auto-framing / tracking
  • Open/close motorized walls
  • Activate smart scheduling / booking updates
5) Learn (Optional – AI-Based Systems)
Over time, AI learns user behavior and optimizes room responses.
Benefits of ART
  • Zero-touch meetings
  • Seamless user experience
  • Better acoustics & camera framing
  • Energy savings (lights/AC only when needed)
  • Support for multi-purpose flexible rooms
  • Fewer support calls / AV issues
Future of Adaptive Rooms
  • AI-based prediction (system sets up before the meeting starts)
  • Integration with calendars & personal profiles
  • Gesture/voice-based control
  • Self-tuning acoustics and lighting
  • Digital twin for room analytics
  • Multilingual communication possible in real time without any problem of regional pronunciations.

Adaptive Room Technology = Sensors + AI/Logic + AV/HVAC/Lighting Control, working together to make a room automatically configure itself based on people and activity.
