AcCve  Digital  IdenCCes  @  the  office  

Office  desks  and  chairs  with  Ac)ve  Digital  Iden))es  can  augment  the  physical  office  experience  with  digital  services  

E.g.  phone  preferences  and  personal  voicemail  

acCvated,  heaCng  adjusted,  documents  and  video-­‐conferencing  a^endees  called  up  for  the  meeCng.  

Could  automaCcally  enter  acCviCes  into  Cmesheets,  

and  provide  overall  infrastructure  usage  data  to  faciliCes  managers  (incl.  energy,  lighCng,  etc)  

Checking  into  a  desk  or  chair  makes  it  smart,  

knowing  who’s  using  it  and  automaCcally  configuring  meeCng  room  preferences  

to  that  individual
