At ISE 2026, Managing Editor Paige Hookway spoke with Florent Guitton, Co-Founder of Wizama about SquareOne, a tabletop gaming system that combines physical game pieces with a digital interface.

Wanting to play board games with their children, who were more interested in interacting with screens, the SquareOne was born. Powered by RFID, the physical pieces can be detected in real time by the interactive interface. Still in the prototyping phase, the startup is accepting pre-orders, ready to produce the product this year. Not only made for family settings, the SquareOne can be used in B2B environments for training.

At ISE 2026, Managing Editor Paige Hookway interviews Mats S. Elvestuen, VP of Sales at Waved, to explore how it enhances guest experience with AI volume automation.

Waved technology provides an automated music volume control system designed to improve the guest experience in venues such as hotels and restaurants. Its system uses small sensors that are placed around a space, and they sense the mood and behaviour of guests, including how busy or lively the environment is. Based on this input, the technology automatically adjusts the music volume, so for example, that it is softer and more in the background during calmer periods, but more present and dominant during busier times.
