Abstract
The conference room automation apparatus employs a processor-based integrated movement sensor, lights, cameras, and display device, such as a projector, that senses and interprets human movement within the room to control the projector in response to that movement and that captures events occurring in the room. Preferably packed in a common integrated package, the apparatus employs a layered software/hardware architecture that may be readily extended as a platform to support additional third-party functionality.
