April 19, 2026
Spatial Signage showcased a depth-rich 3D effect via 3D Plate technology in a slim 52mm profile, designed for enhanced three-dimensional visuals.
Samsung dominated the Edison Awards with two Golds and two Silvers, recognizing breakthrough efforts across AI living, including the Smart Modular House and Vision AI Companion.
Beside the golds, Bespoke AI Combo earned a Silver for its AI-driven washer-dryer with AI Wash Plus, automating wash settings and enhancing dehumidification with a booster heat exchanger.
Samsung executives reiterated a design philosophy of turning needs and emotions into meaningful experiences, with ongoing innovations that deliver real-life value.
Bespoke AI Combo uses AI to optimize washing time by detecting weight and contamination, while dosing detergent based on load and prior cycles.
The Gold Awards went to Samsung’s Smart Modular House, an AI-powered, modular residential concept designed to expand and reconfigure with life stages, and to Vision AI Companion, an integrated AI platform that transforms Samsung TVs into contextual AI interfaces.
Vision AI Companion provides access to multiple AI services, real-time translation, customizable visuals and sound, and an AI-powered remote control experience.
The Edison Awards, known as the Oscars of Innovation, have honored cutting-edge products and services since 1987 and span 14 categories.
The awards signal a shift from concept to concrete products and solutions, reinforcing Samsung’s AI living vision.
Smart Modular House envisions a flexible, expandable residential design that can add modules for new needs—child, smart farm, or pool—to adapt to occupants’ evolving lifestyles.
Spatial Signage’s 3D Plate tech enables glasses-free depth on large 85-inch 4K displays and supports portrait format, with 3D conversion via Samsung VXT’s AI Studio.
The awards tie into Samsung’s CES 2026 concept, Companion to AI Living, illustrating a strategy to connect TVs, appliances, and living spaces into a cohesive AI-powered experience.
