Clever Association is proud to have been the main systems integrator for the 'House of the Future - Today' at the Grand Designs Live Exhibition, ExCel, London, which ran in June 2006.
The 'house' was sponsored by CEDIA, The Custom Electronic Design and Installation Association and it proved to be one of the centrepiece attractions of the show, which attracted over 50,000 visitors.
The 'House of the Future- Today' was an impressive three-room working showcase for custom electronic installation. Each day scripted actors put the various smart technologies in the house through their paces as they moved through the different areas of the set, simulating the everyday activities of a modern family.
For example, it showed how a hi-fi system can breathe beautiful music into every room through unseen loudspeakers, cunningly disguised as artworks; how a plasma TV could be concealed behind a wall, then revealed at the press of a wireless touch panel button, and used to deliver music and movies without a CD or DVD in sight; how operation of these systems could be completely integrated with automatically closing blinds, temperature and light levels and how home networking, telephones, security systems and other equipment could also be integrated and operated via a simple touch-panel.
