Disney’s new Home of the Future
Some of you might remember back when Disneyland had their “House of the Future”. I’m guessing it was located in Tomorrowland, and it featured such futuristic advances like speakerphones, big screen TVs, and microwave ovens. Most homes of the present have these devices now, but during the ten year period that the exhibit was open (1957-1967), this was the future.
Disneyland has just recently opened their new house of the future, otherwise known as the Innovative Dream Home. The 5,000-square-foot house has been built as a collaborated effort with HP, Microsoft, and LifeІware. Visitors can watch the everyday adventures of the fictional Elias family with their more modern advancements.
Some of Microsoft’s contributions include the ever-so-popular Surface, the Home Server, but it also has some advancements we are all familiar with, such as Vista, the Zune, and even the Xbox 360.
