COVID-19’s impact last year forced the display industry to adapt. In order to provide for the changing workplace, there was innovation in technology and it seems like it’s still pushing forward into new spaces. Here are 5 trends that display companies should remember while they continue developing new products:

Flexibility

Companies need to ensure that their staff can access information from anywhere at any time, now that more and more people are working from home. Businesses that were able to accomplish this have shown the most success, especially with mobile apps that allow users to share their content  to certain displays.

Collaboration

Businesses will also need to make meeting rooms as easy to use as possible or it could affect a teams’ collaboration. When it comes to conference rooms, they’ll need to provide good-quality cameras and audio like remote workers have gotten accustomed to with their personal set up. 

As-a-Service

Some companies have started transitioning to a subscription-based model in order to acquire different devices and software. In the display industry, businesses that use a cloud system have shown that they’re more intune with their clients’ needs and the changing workplace.

AV vs. IT

The overlap between AV and IT is increasing more now, and soon enough, IT people will need to have a good grasp of AV (and vice versa) in order to be successful in the workplace. The lines between technology are continually being blurred. Companies that provide full-stack solutions show better productivity. 

IoT/AI

Companies should also consider how to make a conference room more comfortable as we shift back to in-person work. You can try leveraging Internet of Things to collect data on comfort factors, and AI and sensor technology on displays to review temperature and humidity levels.
