Comment
The Technology Reseller team visited ISE 2023 en masse at the beginning of February. And what an event it was. The Panasonic stand alone will live long in the memory thanks to its partnership with Frameless, provider of London’s first (but not only) immersive digital art experience. Across the aisle, Epson was showing its own take on this new trend. Trade shows have never looked so good. ISE’s audience is famously knowledgeable and most visitors are more interested in the small details than the bigger picture. When allowed to, they like to get right up close to displays not just to look for joins and flaws but also to detect heat levels. This is an increasingly important consideration for businesses with net zero ambitions and, as you would expect, sustainability was a major theme at this year’s event. Indeed, Sony had designed its whole stand to highlight its credentials in this area. You can read more about this on page 36. Some of the most interesting developments at ISE were in the professional broadcast arena, or at least where it intersects with business communications, in the form of in-house production studios that enable organisations to create their own content and communicate with customers and prospects in a more professional fashion. Panasonic and Sony were both showing their capabilities in this area – but you had to fight through the crowds to get a closer look.
Elsewhere, there were significant developments in unified communications and collaboration, from purpose-built all-in-one collaboration displays like the Lenovo ThinkSmart View Plus (see page 35) to meeting room devices designed to enhance meeting equity between remote and in-office participants, like the ClickShare CX-50 2nd generation (see page 34). I’m not sure this can ever be achieved fully but the addition of dual-screen support to this popular wireless meeting solution is definitely a step in the right direction.
In the meantime, there will be no shortage of businesses offering their own solutions to the problem of meeting equity. One such is Jugo, which describes its offering in this area as an ‘experiential platform’. To find out what that means turn to page 19.
