Abstract
Methods and systems for automatic setup and initiation of meeting resources are described herein. A meeting room, area, or resource may be equipped with a camera or other proximity based sensor to determine when a user enters the meeting area. The camera may perform initial recognition of a user, e.g., based on facial or body recognition. The system may then authenticate the user as the meeting organizer using a second recognition technique, e.g., voice recognition. Based on the user authentication, the system may query the meeting organizer's calendar (or other resource) for meeting information, download an associated meeting presentation from cloud storage, initiate meeting (e.g., screen sharing) software, notify any missing attendees that the meeting has begun, and launch the presentation on a shared screen. The meeting organizer may then control the presentation using video and/or voice. All may be completed without the meeting organizer being required to touch anything.
