At CES 2017 there was a lot to see and do, but the team at GAMbIT spent the most time at the Cerevo booth because of the company’s wide rage of industry pushing technologies. One of those pieces of kit that we got to have some hands-on time with was Lumigent, a robotic smart desk lamp with speech recognition and transformation functions.
When speaking to Lumigent, it recognizes words and automatically performs actions such as lighting and transformation. The main body has a movable axis with four-degree-freedom, and when not in use, it waits in a folded space-saving state. When the user calls “Hi Lumi, Turn on”, the light lights up at the optimum position set in advance without needing to operate the main unit or the smartphone application.
Lumigent is equipped with Wi-Fi and an autofocus 8 megapixel camera. The user can automatically capture documents and objects on their desk and save them on a microSD or cloud via Wi-Fi. Users can operate Lumigent’s camera with only their voice and there is no need to operate the main unit. This freedom allows the user to take pictures or videos with both hands working or of themselves pointing with a finger or pen. Lumigent’s camera can capture still images and videos, as well as time lapse images.
It also comes equpiied with a Micro USB terminal and can be used as an 8 megapixel web camera when connected to a PC with a USB cable. Simply talk to Lumigent before starting a video conference or call and it will automatically move the camera from the position used for lighting, to the optimum angle for video calls. Ethernet connectivity is available as an option.
Lumigent will launch autumn 2017 at a price between US$400 to $700 so you probably won’t be buying this for you kids, but imagine how cool having this little guy in your office would be!
