Samsung is poised to redefine the television experience with its new Vision AI Companion, an artificial intelligence feature designed to turn Samsung TVs into proactive smart home assistants. Announced recently, the system leverages on-device AI processing to analyze the viewing environment and provide contextual assistance without relying on cloud connectivity.
The Vision AI Companion goes beyond traditional voice control. It utilizes a built-in camera to understand what's happening on screen and in the surrounding room.This allows the TV to offer relevant facts, such as identifying objects, providing details about programs, or even suggesting related content. For example, if a user is watching a cooking show, the TV could offer recipes or information about ingredients.
Furthermore, the system can function as a home security hub, detecting unusual activity and alerting users. It can also manage smart home devices, adjusting lighting or temperature based on viewing habits or room conditions. Dataconomy highlights the system's ability to act as a central control point for a connected home.
