From office buildings in Las Vegas and Chicago to a renovated New York City apartment building and an upscale California home, businesses and residences across the country rely on intercom systems for communicating between remote locations, controlling building entry and other creative uses.
For example, an intercom system at one of the three office buildings in the Great American Plaza in Las Vegas features a virtual character on a television screen named Victoria who functions as a receptionist. At an office building in Chicago, intercoms provide access only to an unattended lobby and designated floors of the facility.
