The modern-day office space is getting a shake-up. Gone are the days of gray cubicles and harsh, fluorescent-lit office floors. Contemporary workspaces are seeing a monumental shift in style, design and function, with innovative tech companies like Google and Apple leading the charge.

Silicon Valley start-ups are drafting up corporate campuses that focus on collaboration, play, innovation and superior user experience. So who helps create these workplaces and infuse them with technology, audio and visuals that enhance workflow, not detract from it?

People like Sean McChesney, Experience Technology Consultant for Electrosonic, that’s who. McChesney joins this episode of Fusion to discuss experiential technology in the workplace, elaborating on projects he’s worked on and rising trends he sees developing in the present-day workplace.

With the tech-native Generation Z entering the workforce, offices are focusing more than ever before on seamless user experience. As McChesney puts it, Gen-Z employees are expecting “the iPhone experience” from their workspace, with tech not just for the sake of tech, but intelligently designed for usefulness.

McChesney said implementing well-thought-out AV starts at the foundation, often collaborating with engineers and architects to ensure the company, its employees and guests get what they need from their spaces. This holistic approach fosters long term relationships and has led McChesney to work on projects with esteemed corporations.

At the heart of it all is “collaboration,” McChesney said. Regardless of a company’s size, workplaces are about getting teams in a space where “person to person innovation” happens.

What tech can play a part in fostering play, while aiding in high-output of innovation? By intelligently designing based on data collection, McChesney and Electrosonic craft a customized workspace that suits each company’s needs, budget and use cases.

Big buyers take over 18 months to approve a display vendor, IndexBox finds

Big buyers take over 18 months to approve a display vendor, IndexBox finds

IndexBox's updated report, published November 13, forecasts about 6.5% yearly growth for commercial displays through 2035. The bigger planning number is 18 months. That is how long major corporate and public-sector buyers routinely take to approve a vendor, locking in screens, firmware and software for multi-year refreshes.

  • 01The display vendor shortlist an enterprise writes this year decides whose screens, firmware and software it runs through a multi-year refresh, because major buyers routinely spend more than 18 months qualifying a supplier.
  • 02Firmware security, content-software API stability and component traceability now count as supply-resilience tests for commercial displays, which puts IT teams beside facilities in the buying decision.
  • 03IndexBox sees pricing power shifting to integrators and software platforms, with steady growth rates of around 6.3% to 6.5% forecasted by independent reports through 2035.

Why Led4Live bought a Coda Audio ViForce system

Why Led4Live bought a Coda Audio ViForce system

Led4Live, a firm that works concerts, festivals and corporate events, bought a Coda Audio ViForce system from Coda's Polish distributor Tommex. The order included 18 four-way cardioid line array modules and four Sub Force subwoofers. Every speaker in the rig is Coda. The purchase reads as a platform bet, with shared software and amplification weighed alongside cardioid stage control.

  • 01Every speaker in Led4Live's new rig, from 18 line array modules down to two stage monitors, comes from Coda Audio and runs on one Dante-enabled amplifier platform.
  • 02Single-box cardioid designs are pitched on what they’re designed to keep off the stage: less rear radiation, fewer reflections and (in theory) better working conditions for performers.
  • 03The cross-range compatibility argument pays off only when mains, fills and monitors share a maker; a mixed-brand rental inventory gets less of it.

LG's Signage Manager app lets store staff run e-paper signs from a phone

LG's Signage Manager app lets store staff run e-paper signs from a phone

LG Electronics announced LG Signage Manager on Nov. 11, 2026. It is a smartphone app for editing, scheduling and monitoring LG's E-paper Display without a PC. Updates go over Wi-Fi when the phone and the display are on the same network, which makes it a tool for on-site staff. The schedules staff set also drive the display's power management, so how often content changes affects energy use.

  • 01On LG's e-paper display, the content schedule a store manager sets in the app is also the instruction the display uses to manage its power.
  • 02LG Signage Manager runs updates and status checks when the phone and display share a network, which makes it a fit for staff on the shop floor and a weaker fit for chains that push content from head office.
  • 03Before a pilot, check two things: whether the app is available in your region, and what the battery readout shows at the update frequency your menus and prices actually need.
