Abstract
The George Washington University is collaborating with America Online and
Virginia's Center for Innovative Technology to develop the "Home of the
21st Century" in its laboratory in Ashburn, Virginia. The project aims at
designing and implementing a distributed network of wired and wireless sensors
and actuators that would be capable of sensing and controlling the environment
in the house, integrating itself with other network-compatible devices and be
accessible from the World Wide Web. The house will be equipped with a certain
amount of intelligence to identify the occupants and customize the environment
according to their preferences. Other features like voice-activated control will
introduce an increased degree of interactivity and be an important step in
freeing the user from the familiar mouse-monitor-keyboard model.
