This TV Wall Mount Tracks You in the Living Room and Automatically Adjusts the TV
TV wall mounts serve to securely fix a TV to a wall. Until now, there hasn't been much more they could do. PalleGear takes it a step further with its AI Adaptive TV Wall Mount. Using camera recognition, it detects the viewer's location and automatically adjusts the TV's direction and height. It sounds practical, but what about privacy protection?
If you've used a motorized TV wall mount before, you're probably familiar with the process. You pull the TV forward, turn it left and right, and tilt it a bit. With PalleGear, this cumbersome process is set to disappear. The AI Adaptive TV Wall Mount recognizes where people are in front of the TV through a camera and moves the TV to match that position. It not only detects whether you're sitting on the left or right side of the TV, but also automatically adjusts the TV's height.
Designed for easy installation and fine-tuning.
This height adjustment feature can actually be very practical in everyday life. When sitting on the sofa, the TV can be positioned lower. Later, when standing in front of the screen for exercise, the TV rises accordingly. Conversely, if children are sitting on the floor in front of the TV, it appropriately lowers to a much lower position. To put it somewhat dramatically, the wall mount is following you around the living room and trying to always keep the TV in the appropriate position.
What happens when there are multiple viewers?
The AI Adaptive Wall Mount automatically adjusts based on whether the viewer is sitting or standing. To do this, the system uses a camera installed at the top of the screen.
But one question remains. What would happen if two adults were sitting on the sofa and one child was sitting on the floor in front of it? Or if one person is standing and another is sitting, how would it work? It's still uncertain whether the mount adjusts to one specific person, selects a middle position, or allows you to designate a primary viewer. How PalleGear handles these situations will be a very important factor in determining whether the automatic adjustment feature can actually provide useful value in a typical home environment.
Camera facing the sofa head-on
There are also several privacy concerns to verify. After all, this feature requires the camera to be continuously exposed to the living room space. Therefore, it's important to know where and how video data is processed. Whether all operations are processed on the device itself, whether video is stored, and whether internet connection or cloud services are required for the stand. Personally, I hope that a physical camera cover or at least a function to completely turn off the camera is included. This is because the moment the camera, software, and network connection are combined together, there is room for exposure to security threats.
Those who are already using cameras, voice recognition assistants, and other smart home devices in their living room will be able to accept it more comfortably. On the other hand, those who cover their laptop webcams with stickers will be conflicted about whether to install an additional camera right above the TV.
Wall-mounted stand with built-in backlight
A full-motion TV wall mount with LED backlight is a relatively safe product. Here, the LED is mounted directly on the back of the TV stand. You can set colors and effects, and music mode is also supported. When you want indirect lighting behind the TV, there is an advantage that you don't need to attach a separate LED strip to the back of the TV. Of course, it cannot replace a fully synchronized ambilight solution, but the mobility of the stand is maintained, so you can pull the TV forward or tilt it left, right, up, and down.
Ultra-slim wall-mounted stand: Gap of only 2.8cm from the wall
Pale Gear's ultra-slim full-motion wall mount is a very interesting product. Thin OLED TVs look clean on the surface, but with a conventional movable stand, they would be several centimeters away from the wall. When folded, this product has a gap of only 1.1 inches, or about 2.8cm. Nevertheless, you can pull the TV forward, tilt it, and rotate it left and right. For thin OLED and LCD TVs, it would be an excellent compromise that allows you to enjoy both the advantage of flush wall installation and the mobility of a full-motion stand.
Sonicbeam: Lighting system for speakers
There is also a Sonicbeam speaker stand that can be used with a TV stand equipped with lighting. This is a speaker stand with built-in lighting that offers various effects and music modes. Cables can be organized inside the stand. If you want to decorate your home theater space with indirect lighting, you can neatly match the lighting of the TV and speakers. While it may not be absolutely necessary to have a speaker stand with lighting, the home theater area is not originally a field decorated only with essentials.
The most interesting idea is the automatic stand
Among the newly released products, the adaptive wall-mounted stand is notably the most interesting product. A stand that moves the TV by recognizing whether a person is sitting, standing, or in another location in the space is not a common product. How reliably it will work in real-world use will depend on how it handles multiple people. And there are still data protection issues. A camera that is always facing the sofa and living room space can be a somewhat burdensome element.
