Microsoft’s Home of the Future uses Projection Technology
Microsoft’s “Home of the Future” is a mock home which is an attempt at reflecting their vision of what the home will have in the future. The home was recently renovated after 15 years, and it is to show what the home will look like in 5 or more years. Important aspects of the home include the following: everything in the home runs on a central network, with cellphones and even the doorbell residing as nodes on that network so that when people come home, it recognizes their mobile devices. Almost everything in the house will have a RFID chip in it, and according to Stephen Kim, “it assumes there will be more intuitive ways to interact with information.” The images on the walls come from projectors and companies like Philips are working on “thin organic light-emitting diodes” that could relate to wallpaper.
