Smart spaces are physical environments equipped with interconnected technologies that enable people, systems, and devices to interact in increasingly intelligent ways. These environments use sensors, artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and data analytics to collect and process information, making them responsive and adaptive to the needs of their occupants.
We encounter smart spaces at home, at work, and in public areas. For example:
- Smart homes can feature automated lighting, voice-activated assistants, whole-home audio, and intelligent security systems. CEDIA, the association for smart home professionals, is a co-owner of ISE.
- Smart buildings and workplaces optimise energy usage, manage meeting rooms, and enhance collaboration through intelligent systems.
- Smart cities use technology to manage traffic, waste, and utilities for greater efficiency and sustainability.
Residential & Smart Building Zone
You’ll find plenty to inspire you in the Residential and Smart Building Zone in Halls 1 & 2. Here you'll find a range of solutions for smart spaces including access control, energy management, building control, smart lighting and shading, video security, cabling, audio-video entertainment, smart workplace, and Internet of Things.
A visit to ISE will enable you to find out if a particular idea you’ve had for a smart space is actually achievable. The short answer: it probably is.
