rAVe ED [Education] — Volume 15, Issue 8
Latest headlines: Bob Snyder on Google’s ATAP, Jeff Hastings on industry education, plus news from Panasonic Connect, Audio-Technica & more

April 25, 2022 | Volume: 15 | Issue: 8

 

What a busy time of year it’s turned out to be! While many of you are prepping for the summer months — a time when you are undoubtedly installing new solutions in classrooms all over and preparing them for fall — you’re also prepping for trade show season.

I hope I’ll see you at ISE in two weeks — however, if you won’t be joining this time, be sure to register to attend ISE rePLAY! We will be featuring two separate versions of the virtual event: one for those in the U.S. and one for our EMEA friends. If you’re planning on attending InfoComm, do register and use the code RAVE for a free exhibitor pass! See you in Vegas!

In terms of our columns this time, Bob Snyder writes about the newest offering from Google that uses AI technology to sense the person approaching and intelligently adjusts all technology to that person’s settings. In a classroom, wouldn’t it be nice if the room tech would automatically turn on and adjust when a certain teacher enters? Wouldn’t this be nice in universities where professors share classroom spaces? Food for thought!

Finally, Jeff Hastings writes about a different type of education — industry education. Whose burden is it to have all the industry education? So often, we place it on integrators but should we? Shouldn’t manufacturers have that same responsibility? End users? All others in the industry? Just some more food for thought on your Monday.

Enjoy your week, #AVtweeps.

COLUMNS

 

+ Google Wants Us on Its Radar [Bob Snyder]

The latest human-computer interface — an interface that could dramatically impact the AV business — comes from Google’s hardware invention studio, Advanced Technology & Projects (ATAP).

 

+ Why We Need A More Collaborative Approach To Education In The AV Space [Jeff Hastings]

The burden to self-educate falls disproportionately on systems integrators and other technical consultants — these are the wizards whose job it is to know precisely the right mix of hardware and software to weave together to deliver on what customers are asking for. In fact, much of their value is derived from their wealth of industry knowledge earned over the course of many years of successful research and execution. This model worked well for many years, but I believe hardware manufacturers and CMS providers should take a more active role in providing educational opportunities to integrators and technical consultants.
