A new partnership was recently announced between JVC and Josh.ai, which will give JVC home theater projector owners a more powerful and intuitive control to their premium home theater environments. By integrating directly with JVC’s advanced D-ILA projector lineup, Josh.ai gives custom integrators, designers, and homeowners a streamlined way to orchestrate their cinematic spaces with natural voice commands, intuitive remotes, and personalized automation scenes.

Once connected to the home network, JVC projectors automatically populate within the Josh.ai platform, allowing installers to move quickly from discovery to configuration. Through the Josh.ai Web Portal, integrators can set up HDMI inputs, assign media zones, and manage complex entertainment systems—even in homes with multiple projectors. Users gain seamless control over power, inputs, volume, and access to streaming or cable content, all through a unified interface.

For home theater enthusiasts, the partnership brings an elevated level of convenience and immersion. Josh.ai enables household members to craft tailored viewing environments with custom scenes and contextual voice control. A single request like, “Hey Josh, dim the lights, draw the shades, and watch Stranger Things on Netflix,” is possible with this partnership, not only for the JVC projector, but the whole automated home ecosystem.

JVC sees the collaboration as a natural extension of its focus on user-centric projection technology. Their goal is to deliver immersive experiences and advancing user-centric home theater projection technology that integrates effortlessly into modern smart homes. The collaboration with Josh.ai reflects JVC’s commitment to open, seamless compatibility across the home cinema ecosystem.

This partnership also represents a step forward in the evolution of home theater technology. By combining JVC’s expertise in premium projection with Josh.ai’s advanced AI capabilities, the collaboration redefines home entertainment, offering a seamless, unified solution for custom integrators, designers, and homeowners alike.
