Microsoft has set up a "Home of the Future" exhibition to share their vision of a high-tech home 10 years from now.
It involves a mix of software technology, hidden projectors and organic LEDs (light-emitting diodes) that could display information or images on walls and other surfaces; personal devices like smart phones that can control the lights, home security, the television and other devices; and interactive devices and appliances that respond to voice and gestures.
Organic LED displays, which are now part of the wall design, can be activated to access information. Any surface can be turned into a "screensaver" or interactive wallpaper, or a browser that displays videos, images, games and interactive applications that respond to gestures.
