Smart display: what intelligent displays can do

Before we can introduce you to the various technologies, it is first important to define what a touchscreen is. Basically, the name says it all: it is a screen that recognizes and processes commands by touch. This can be done with a finger, a specially designed stylus using increased pressure or a very gentle touch. Many models also allow you to touch the display with several fingers at the same time to execute commands.

A smart display is basically just a display that can retrieve its content either by radio or via the internet. As a rule, the displays are voice-controlled. Smart displays are often described as a mixture of tablet and television, but unlike tablets, they are usually attached to a fixed position.

The field of application of a smart display can vary greatly: For example, it can be used for voice-controlled playback of videos from a streaming service, the visual display of all kinds of requests for the weather, the time or music playback or for smartly holding video conferences.

Numerous people integrate a smart display into their home and use it as one of many voice-controlled devices. For example, you can command your smart display to wake you up in the morning with a certain song or ask it to call up a certain YouTube video so that you can watch a cooking video, for example.

Both privately and in companies, one of the most common areas of application for a smart display is video conferencing. You can easily start a video call on your Smart Display using a voice command. Smart displays are also ideal for organization and planning. For example, call up your calendar with a simple command and view all upcoming appointments for the coming day, week or month on the Smart Display.

The benefits of smart displays have now been demonstrated in both private and business contexts. Numerous companies are already using smart displays or integrating their entire electronics into a smart home system. It is hard to imagine conferences, seminars and presentation rooms without a smart display. Start video conferences with colleagues or customers simply by voice command

You can also conveniently start presentations for all conference participants, switch back and forth between slides or call up additional content - all without having to fiddle with the remote control or find the relevant app. The use of smart displays in companies not only saves nerves, but above all time. One of the biggest advantages of a smart display is its easy operation. Smart displays should make operation as easy as possible for users: All you have to do is talk to your display and tell it what you need.
