Design your smart home!
My smart home (I)
It’s 7 in the morning and my AI assistant comes in to wake me up. As soon as I step into the bathroom, the warm light is already on. The smart mirror analyzes my skin and suggests the right facial cream.
In my kitchen, the 3D food printer helps create all types of food that I like. Housework is no big deal,
because my AI assistant will take overall the household chores.
I don’t need keys any more because my door
has smart cameras installed that recognize my face. My AI assistant oversees the security of my home all the time so I may feel safe and secure.
After an exhausting day at work, I can relax on the couch and watch a movie on the smart wallpaper. If I feel more like action, I can put on my VR glasses and meet friends in a breathtaking 3D world and experience adventures with them.
