Microsoft Home of the Future

The Microsoft Home has been around since 1994.  It takes a peek 3-15 years into the future and looks at how technology will be a factor in everybody's life then. 


Microsoft Home is created as sort of a testing ground of products.  Currently some of the objects that make the home futuristic are interactive digital wallpaper (with internet connectivity), a charging plate that charges any electronic (phone, watch) as well as provides information about them, and a large interactive screen that holds music and information (as well as many other things).  If that doesn't make much sense just check out the videos below!




On a related note.  Microsoft also has videos released on what they envision the future to be like in 2019.

You can also find extended videos on YouTube of 2019 visions in specific areas (i.e. offices, manufacturing, etc.).

Pretty cool and very technology oriented.  I am not sure we will quite be there yet in 2019, but maybe someday not too far from then Microsoft's vision will become reality.
