The idea of immersive experiences has been around for many years. Certain technological features over the years have brought us closer, but none as close as the latest tech trends in AV equipment. We’re heading for some exciting new experiences in the future, and some experiences have already been developed. Read all about the latest tech trends for AV equipment below:

Holograms

A trend for AV equipment that we’ve been seeing in movies and TV shows for many years is finally a reality: holograms are here! Holograms are a form of projection technology that has been enhanced greatly in recent years. As we advance in technology, we are seeing more realistic holograms with three-dimensional displays. In fact, Kanye West just used this technology as a gift to Kim Kardashian!

LED walls

LED walls have been around for a while now, but they are getting bigger and brighter with every model! The latest LED walls offer high-definition views, providing people with an eco-friendly promotional product that is sure to grab the attention of many consumers. These LED walls can be used for advertising and other practices indoors and outdoors.

Augmented reality

Virtual reality is definitely not taking a step back, but its virtual counterpart is taking a huge leap forward. Augmented reality is making its rise in the AV world. This tech trend offers a version of layered reality that enhances every experience. Some smartphone apps have already taken steps to make use of this technology, but we envision exciting things for the future.

As the global economy continues to change, so will the technology that surrounds us. For many industries, the technology has already changed drastically since its beginnings. Since its creation, AV equipment has made tremendous advances, and you can be sure that these technological advances will continue in the future.

The future of AV equipment

Though we cannot predict what changes will occur in the future, we can be sure that there will be changes in terms of the technology that we use. Some of the AV equipment that we use in current times will be upgraded, some of it will cease to exist and there may be some introduction to new AV technology. There may also be certain features added to AV equipment in the future, such as different types of USB ports for more efficient connections. One aspect of AV equipment that individuals believe we will be seeing a lot of in the future, and that is likely to undergo major developments, is virtual reality (VR).

Why it should change

The AV equipment that is used around the world in modern times is all thanks to the innovations of the past. Without the change and growth that has occurred throughout the history of AV equipment, we would not be where we are now. As AV equipment continues to change in the future, it will give the global economy many new opportunities.

If you’ve been thinking about purchasing audio equipment lately, but you aren’t sure where to look, we have one thing to say to you: choose an AV specialist! Many people will just go to their local retailer when purchasing audio equipment, but there are many reasons why you should do this. Here’s why choosing AV specialists for your audio equipment is a much better choice than going to a retailer:

Information

The great thing about using an AV specialist for your audio equipment needs is that they have the necessary knowledge about the equipment. They can give you all the specs about each product, allowing you to make an informed decision about the audio equipment that you need. If you are uncertain about which audio equipment to choose, an AV Specialist can also provide with expert advice on which options are the best for you and what additional pieces of equipment you may need.

Installation

While a retailer may offer to install the equipment for you, you are often expected to do it on your own. You can be sure that all AV Specialists will install and test the equipment for you, and they will do so at a very high standard. Not only will the AV Specialist install your equipment, but they can also give you some advice on the best placement of your equipment.

Building relationships

The great thing about using an AV specialist is that you can build a relationship with these individuals. Once you have chosen an AV specialist that you are happy with, you can return to them for all your AV equipment needs and they will continue to provide you with the reliable, high-quality equipment and services that you need and trust.

During current times, as the covid-19 pandemic continues to spread, the need to keep your AV equipment clean is greater than ever. Covid-19 is spread through tiny droplets that are dispersed when individuals cough, sneeze, or even talk. When it comes to AV equipment, a lot of the equipment involves close handling causing droplets to land on it or to be transferred via touch. This could cause the disease to spread which is why it is highly important to clean this equipment thoroughly. Here’s how you can keep your AV equipment clean during covid-19:

Wash your hands

A starting point for keeping your AV equipment clean is by washing your hands before touching the equipment. While this is not all you should do, it is a small yet effective preventative measure of spreading the disease. Washing your hands ensures that you are not placing any germs on the AV equipment. Make sure that every person who touches the equipment has washed their hands!

Wipe the screens

When it comes to touchscreen products it is essential to wipe the screens down after every person has touched it. Do not simply wipe the screens down with a special microfibre cloth, but rather use an antibacterial wipe or an alcohol-based spray that will ensure that any germs are removed.

Clean between uses

Cleaning the AV equipment before and after it has been used is not always the correct thing to do; however, it depends on how many people are handling the equipment. If one person is handling the equipment cleaning it before and after it’s perfectly fine, but if more than one person is handling the equipment it should be cleaned after before being touched by each new person.
