Space creates an atmosphere for people staying in. How could space be responsive to people’s activities and create a dynamic atmosphere?

We have all encounter situations that several people sitting together but could not find a topic to break the ice. What if the system of the ambient space could detect the silence and if the silence goes for a while, it helps you find a topic?

In addition, what if the system could create an atmosphere (sound, image) when you are sitting next to other people or talking with other people? Whether it is romantic/ intense/ smoothing/…
