Josh.ai announces a partnership with Barco bringing control to high-end Barco Medea, Balder, Loki and Bragi Cinemascope residential projectors through the Josh.ai voice and app interfaces.

Once connected to the network, Josh.ai auto-populates the Barco projectors. There is no limit to the number of projectors in one home, giving custom installers more possibilities with home integrations. The Josh.ai portal provides a seamless setup process with visibly diagrammed HDMI input configurations. Once the system is complete, customers can ask the Josh Micro to play content they want in the room they want from anywhere in the house.

Natural language-oriented commands can switch video sources. Thus, one can say "turn on the projector" and "watch surfing videos on YouTube." More complex commands, such as "watch Breaking Bad season 3 episode 4, draw the blinds and dim the lights 10 percent" can also be actioned for all devices assigned to the room the homeowner is in.

“The Josh team has been hard at work expanding support for distributed video," the company says. "And we are excited to announce our integration with Barco Residential, a fellow innovator in our industry. As a premier manufacturer for many of our dealers, it’s a natural fit to offer voice control in the world’s most advanced theatres.”
