AV Design Trends to Modernize Business Space: First Impressions Are Forever
What do people see as they enter your place of business? Making the first impression count is a big deal. Whether you’re doing a remodel or incorporating some AV market trends into your existing office space, it can be hard to know where to start. With so many choices, which is right for your next project? Here are just are just a few design ideas we recommend exploring.
1. Create an interactive video wall.
It used to seem like something from a futuristic movie, but single or multi-panel video walls and their accompanying high-end technology have become rather affordable. If you want to generate high-impact visuals that capture visitors’ attention and elevate a space, this is a great way to go. At EOC Audio, we offer direct view LED video walls & tiling solutions that deliver seamless images in a wide variety of dimensions with impressive viewing angles. Your
2. Liven up your art.
Designers have long been using art to evoke emotion or set a particular tone within corporate buildings by hanging pictures throughout the space. But today, art and technology mix beautifully. When you use digital art in a commercial space, the end result is a much wider array of image choices that can be swapped out with the click of a remote or touch on a tablet. You can exhibit work that’s meaningful to your business, and enjoy an interior that’s more dynamic and interesting for your visitors and employee’s. Creates a combination picture on the wall and message board from a single display.
3. Upgrade your TVs and displays.
One way to modernize a corporate space swiftly is by giving TVs and displays a makeover. You can refresh the vibe and improve the ultimate visitor experience by strategically using TVs, monitors and content throughout a building. Modern room design ideas always include video systems that can receive content from many sources and deliver it on a timely basis, as desired. For example: Welcome the client(s) by name as they approach the reception area and throughout the facility. It’s a feel good for the client and a way of letting your team know who will be on site that day. Projectors, flat screen monitors, interactive displays are just some of the video options available to enhance your space and the entire experience for everyone involved.
4. Let there be light.
First we went from regular cell phones to smartphones, and now we advance in the lighting world to something called intelligent lighting. It might sound silly but lights can have an enormous impact on individuals’ mindsets, productivity and mood. More than anything, lighting impacts someone’s desire to stay in a space – or leave.
While natural lighting is best, artificial light can still be beneficial when natural light isn’t available. Either way, you can use technology to automate lighting, even down to brightening as the day goes on and dimming as evening approaches. While a bit ancillary to AV, it can be used in conjunction and is an important consideration to keep in mind when you’re designing a space for the visitor and employee experience.
5. Update your conference systems (for your office, common areas or your system at home)
Make it easy for you, your team and any visitors to connect to your displays and make a professional presentation. Do your video meetings without interruption or distorted sound for maximum productivity. Emphasis on making it easy while maintaining a professional presentation or experience. Make sure the system is intuitive to use, as you never know who will need to use the system next. There is nothing worse than a hard to make it work interface that leaves you bumbling around to get it operational.
