Bellevue, Wash. The floor of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is the place to see the latest and greatest in home electronics. But if you want to see examples of this technology at work in a real home, you will have to step outside -- to the 2005 NextGen Home. Located at the South entrance of the Las Vegas convention center (next to the new Monorail station), the 2005 NextGen Home looks like a typical suburban American home. But don’t let appearances fool you. With “The Future Is Here” as its theme, the home will be replete with cutting edge technologies. So many, in fact, that it has been named the official show home of the Consumer Electronics Association’s (CEA) TechHome division. The most visible technologies on display will demonstrate the future of entertainment. That’s because the 2005 NextGen Home lets you enjoy more entertainment content, in more places, using more devices than ever before. Microsoft and Intel will be teaming up to show visitors how a Pentium 4 processor and the just-released Windows XP Media Edition 2005 can transform a PC into the home’s digital entertainment hub, serving up audio, video, and digital photos on demand. They will also be demonstrating handheld devices that let users access this content wirelessly, or over a home network, from anywhere in the house. Even the bathroom mirror will be able to serve up video. For those who want a full-body entertainment experience, the home will boast a theater room with a large-screen LCD, hidden in-wall speakers, and sound-absorbing floor construction. And entertainment won’t be the only thing that’s cutting edge. Several other technologies will make their debut at the home, including easy to install powerline security cameras, warning systems for everything from break ins to broken pipes, new products for remote or automatic control of home systems, and the first production model of an Internet enabled oven. In other words, products on display at the NextGen Home will cover all the major themes on the CES show floor. Visitors can take unique, self-guided tours that let them focus on different themes, and see products put through their paces in a real environment. A unique map and resource guide will list all the products in the home, as well as their locations, and will include links to more information.
