The Audio Interaction System (AIS) is a patented interactive audio system integrated into VIVA smart benches/seating, transforming a simple piece of urban furniture into an intelligent sonic touchpoint. Through presence sensors and network connectivity, the AIS recognizes the context and automatically adapts audio content for anyone nearby—no apps, commands, or manual interaction required.
Key Features
- Presence-Based Playback. The system detects people approaching or sitting on the bench and starts playing context-relevant content: tourist guides, local information, informational or promotional messages. The experience begins automatically when a user arrives and returns to standby when they leave.
- Relaxing and Adaptive Soundscapes. When there's no interaction, the AIS automatically plays relaxing ambient sounds (nature, water, atmospheres), selected based on weather conditions and time of day, to enhance the space and people's well-being.
- Automatic Presence/Absence Management. The audio behavior adjusts on its own: informational content when there's an audience, discreet soundscapes when the area is empty, and silence during inappropriate hours—maximizing effectiveness and respect for the surrounding environment.
- Amplified Audio System. High-quality sound diffusion through an integrated amplifier, ensuring a clear, calibrated, and suitable performance even in open spaces.
How It Works
The AIS combines presence sensors (detecting people around/seated), environmental condition readings (weather/time), and connectivity (Wi-Fi/mobile) to select the most suitable content in real time. The audio library can be updated and configured remotely via the VIVA portal, allowing managers to change guides, languages, messages, and atmospheres without physically accessing the device.
Application Areas
Tourism and cultural routes, museums and outdoor sites, parks and relaxation areas, urban spaces and smart cities, retail and proximity marketing.

VIVA Products - Description
The VIVA SMART system is based on ZERO WIRE SYSTEM technology: no wiring required.
Simply place the product in an area exposed to sunlight, and the integrated photovoltaic panel will ensure self-sufficiency for all available services, including device charging via USB ports and wireless technology.
The VIVA™ series products were created with the aim of modernizing urban spaces through innovative technologies, geared towards the control and use of specific functionalities to meet the needs of contemporary citizens.
The VIVA™ series redefines the very concept of public space, transforming it not only into a place for rest and relaxation, but into a hub for gathering and interaction.
Depending on the model, the system allows you to:
- charge smart devices (tablets, smartphones) via USB ports
- charge compatible devices via integrated wireless technology
- connect to the Wi-Fi network
- consult real-time information on traffic, air quality, weather conditions, and much more
The VIVA™ series offers extensive customization possibilities.
The cross-functional skills of our team and our deep knowledge of materials and processing technologies allow us to tackle any custom project.
Through a cloud connection, the VIVA PORTAL software allows for centralized remote management of the entire network of stations, on any device and at any time.
A single platform to control and check the system status in real time, in a simple, efficient, and multi-user way:
- monitoring of battery charge status
- collection of weather and environmental data
- monitoring of device charge and discharge cycles
- predictive anomaly detection and error reporting system
