About NIRO-Hi Asistente Inteligente para Salas de Reuniones

NIRO-Hi es un asistente inteligente controlado por voz diseñado para salas de reuniones. Las reuniones se inician mediante la voz, por lo que no es necesaria la introducción manual de datos y los contactos se localizan simplemente hablando. Los dispositivos conectados en la sala, como el aire acondicionado, las cortinas, el proyector y la iluminación, también se controlan por voz. Una pantalla táctil y unos botones en la parte superior permiten el control manual cuando se requiere. Una banda de luz dinámica alrededor del altavoz superior indica el estado actual. Es posible conectar teléfonos móviles y ordenadores para realizar reuniones en línea. El acabado blanco mate le confiere una apariencia suave.

Unique Properties: In the past, the efficiency of traditional voice conference products is quite low, users had to complete many steps to set up a conference and enter complex information.The entire user experience is not smooth.The NIRO-Hi conference smart device brings more intelligent assistant to meetings powered by AI technologies.Users use voice to control NIRO-Hi without hands-on operation. Users do not need any manual information input, they can directly locate contacts through voice and start voice communication. In addition to basic meeting functions. User can also remotely control all IOT hardware during meeting with voice recognition interaction, including air conditioner, curtain, projector & lighting. The top dynamic light belt has rich status indication delivering a smart and agile use experience. NIRO-Hi can interconnect mobile phones & computers to complete high-quality online meetings.
Dimensions & Packaging: 337mm x 363mm x 72mm

Production Technology: Leading smart microphone array processing technology and acoustic structure design: intelligently select the near-end speaker's voice signal and shield the interference signal. NIRO-Hi not only can further improve the noise cancellation effect by more than 10dB compared with traditional noise reduction technology, but also can effectively suppress the adverse effect of reverberation on audio quality
Design Challenge: After a careful study of the technical boundaries of acoustic hardware, we discovered that reducing the height of the speaker and microphone and extending the space between is beneficial to enhancing the microphone's ability to suppress the speaker to achieve a better user experience, so we determine our final design to adapt triangular arrangement of three microphones
Research: Almost all traditional conference room terminal products use serious geometric shapes with tough edges to show professional sense, products became cruel tools. By this insight, NIRO-Hi uses an elegant design language with a matte white CMF to create comfortable experience. The dynamic light belt installed around the top speaker, sensitive and natural voice interactions，information display with screen，NIRO-Hi really turned into a smart assistant
Inspiration: More and more employees aspire to work in a smart office environment. Just as voice assistants such as Amazon Echo, Google Home, and Apple Siri can easily create smart homes, voice interactions can also create smart office spaces. The intelligent conference room hardware - NIRO-Hi brings new voice interaction experience for users with the help of AI. All the hardware in the conference room can be controlled by voice, greatly improving the efficiency of the meeting.
Project Duration: The project started in March 2019 in Beijing and ends in January 2020.
Operation Flow: Combining voice wake-up, voice recognition interaction and touch screen interaction, NIRO-Hi supports self-developed hardware and customized systems and software algorithms to provide services such as VoIP / PSTN phone, IOT control, conference room reservation management to improve conference and office efficiency. It can be easily configured, operated, and maintained through code scanning on a mobile terminal. In special cases, users can still touch the screen and touch buttons on the top to control the product.
