The Digital Lifestyle is all about convergence, convenience, and choice, and that’s what Exceptional Innovation brings to the NextGen home by merging the power of digital entertainment and hardware-neutral control of the home’s systems through a suite of innovative products based on its ground-breaking Life|ware solution.
Life|ware uses Web Services technology to provide a level of multi-vendor support for home control systems that is changing the industry. Accessible either through a Digital Entertainment Center’s or Xbox’s Media Center menu option or directly from a Lifetouch touchscreen, Life|ware gives NextGen visitors a single, friendly, easy-to-use interface to lighting, audio, security, climate and camera systems from a variety of companies. It is Life|ware that brings all of these different systems together with digital entertainment in one complete, converged home control package.
Throughout the home, EI’s award-winning 8.9” and 12.1” Life|touch touchscreens offer unprecedented computing power, image clarity and flexibility for both viewing high definition entertainment and enjoying fingertip home control through Life|ware. Actually a self-contained Windows® XP Embedded PC, each Life|touch unit runs Life|ware on-board.
At the heart of the home’s network is Life|controller, EI’s powerful in-home control server that runs Life|ware on a Windows® XP Embedded platform. Life|controller is solidly constructed, with an Intel processor, abundant memory and an industrial-grade hard drive to handle all of the communications between the user and the home’s control systems, from turning on a light to executing a pre-configured Life|scene to set the perfect mood.
Come visit NextGen and see Exceptional Innovation present the digital lifestyle.
