House of the Month

Innoventions, Disneyland, USA

Disneyland Resort in California, USA, has just opened its first virtual home to showcase the latest in connected home technology. It is a home so perfectly attuned to the needs of a family that it can anticipate and fulfill them, virtually without anyone lifting a finger!

Smart Wired Kitchen

Foyer & Great Room

As the Dream Home notes the presence of individual members of the Elias family, the surroundings in the great room - pictures on the walls, music in the sound system - automatically adjust to the preferences of the family member who is in the room.

At the grand piano in one corner, a would-be virtuoso can take a master class from a teacher on the other side of the country. Technology lets the teacher do a full demonstration, complete with technique, on the Dream Home piano.

In the center of the room, next to the family's easy chairs and ottomans, is a "coffee table book" that is actually an interactive touch screen with content from the library. The book will display the original manuscript of "Alice in Wonderland". Guests and Elias family members can turn the pages of the book simply by touching the screen.
