For short-duration call use cases (under 10 minutes), the practical difference is minimal — both systems activate reliably when a person enters. For extended focused work sessions (30–90+ minutes) where the occupant may be reading, writing, or listening without significant physical movement, HIGHKA’s respiration-based detection ensures continuous lighting and ventilation without the risk of systems dimming or reducing airflow during stationary periods. The difference is most relevant for organisations deploying pods as deep work spaces rather than purely as phone call booths.
