Introduction

The Innoventions Dream Home gives visitors a hands-on experience with new in-home technologies, - both practical and futuristic - to demonstrate how a connected digital lifestyle can simplify and enhance many aspects of daily family life.

* The experience includes guest interaction with the residents of the Dream Home - the fictional Elias family. Members of the family move from room to room, utilising the technology as they prepare for a big celebration. Guests who enter the Dream Home can observe and play with all its comforts, including:

* Innovations from Microsoft that enable today's digital lifestyle, seamlessly connecting family members to live and recorded entertainment and memories

* Connected entertainment devices and PCs from HP that help the family members stay connected and simplify their daily activities

* Wireless technology adapted by Life|ware that allows the Dream Home's devices to recognise individual family members as they enter a room and tailor the room to their individual preferences

* Design elements from homebuilder Taylor Morrison on the fa?e, the patio and party tent areas.
