Kaleidescape Partners With Josh.ai on Voice Control Integration

Voice control company Josh.ai teamed with Kaleidescape to enable customers to launch a title saved to a Kaleidescape movie player using contextual voice commands, the companies emailed Tuesday. Once Josh.ai is deployed, each Kaleidescape device in the home is automatically detected on the network along with its downloaded content, they said. A Josh.ai command can link related control functions to a command so that asking for a movie title also engages a scene for lowering lighting, drapes and a projector screen, they said. Josh.ai can also control Kaleidescape players when they are routed through Crestron SIMPL, Crestron Home and Control4 video distribution.
