Homes of the Future |
|
|
Multi-disciplinary
MIT project investigating all aspects of the future home, from design and
architecture to computational sesning, education, and health. |
|
|
|
|
|
This
research project is extending the typical UPC code to handle objects in the
home that can be detected using RF tags and sensors embedded in countertops. |
|
|
Most
research at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory impacts, in some way,
the home of the future. |
|
|
An
office environment has been equipped with speech recognition technology and
other sensors to automatically control video displays and some office
devices. Research on how to create intelligent, distributed interactive
environment control software. |
|
|
The
Oxygen project is focussed on integrating speech technologies to create the
next generation of "intelligent" computer systems. |
|

Most
research at the MIT Media Laboratory impacts, in some way, the home of the
future. |

MIT
Media Laboratory research program investigating new technologies that impact
how the aging baby boomers will use technology. This program is
affiliated with House_n. |
|
|
The
Georgia Institute of Technology School for Computer Science has several
research groups investigating issues related to the homes of the future.
Projects include: Classroom 2000, Context Toolkit, Everyday Computing,
Errata, Smart Floor, Ubiquitous Audio and Video, The Aware Home. Interesting
Research projects to check out. |

USC's
project to develop a model local home modification coalition in Southern
California that can be replicated elsewhere, use new mechanisms to promote
information sharing amongst consumers and professionals through the creation
of "The Accessible Home Page", a World Wide Web site, create a
compendium of state home modification policies and program, and sustain the
efforts of the National Task Force on Home Modifications, including
sponsorship of a Third National Conference on Home Modification. |
|
|
Designing
the next-generation command post, which must have highly-sophisticated
computer control but be easy to assemble, disassemble, and adapt, has issues
that apply to the standard home. For example, look at these research papers: papers
on military command posts. |
|
|
An
integrated design of real spaces and virtual spaces allowing for dynamic
configuration and flexible allocation of resources for project teams (e.g. on
demand and ad hoc teams). |

From
the website: "The four bedroomed detached house, sited on University
Park Campus, has been designed to demonstrate the integration of existing
renewable energy technologies such as solar chimneys, solar thermal
collectors, photovoltaics, light pipes and rainwater collection. The
incorporation of a structural steel frame into the south half of the house
will allow relatively quick and convenient mounting of new systems to the
exterior of the building as well as the replacement of existing walls and
windows by novel renewable energy envelope systems. The House will be
occupied by researchers who will provide realistic demand profiles for the
hot water, electricity etc, produced by the renewable energy systems and to
provide feedback on system performance." |
