Virtual Reality Showroom: Oculus Rift Brings Smart Home Technology to Life

Virtual reality is changing the way people shop for smart home technology. Instead of browsing static displays at a retail establishment, they can stay in the comfort of their own homes to experience how smart home products look and function in a home while moving virtually through each room.

Azione Unlimited operates one of the first showrooms to employ virtual reality to provide homeowners with a more realistic glimpse at the impact of smart home technology on their daily lives. Driven by software developed by BDX, Azione’s Virtual Reality Show House is built on a sophisticated graphics engine employed by top video game studios. And the good news is, you don’t have to travel to Azione, in Chester Springs, Pa., to experience it. The demo runs on a computer or app, giving home systems integrators the ability to bring the showroom demo to their customers’ home. The showroom demo can be controlled with a PC or Xbox game controller, viewed through an Octulus Rift VR headset, or shown to multiple people at once on a computer monitor or large HDTV or projection screen.

The base model contains over 100 products from 30 companies, but home systems integrators who use it can put their own spin on the software by including their own particular brand mix, company logo, contact info and regional/environmental landscape representing the dealer’s location.

Virtual Reality Customer Experience

With the guidance of a home systems integrator, consumers can “walk through” the virtual home and interact with the different components, and then choose to view a pop-up information panel that describes a certain product’s features.

The tactile experience gives the consumer an idea of the various options available and the functionality of different products and, more importantly, helps the consumer visualize the end result in their own home.

Virtual Reality Tours: The Future of Smart Home Design?

There’s no better way to experience home technology than to touch it and use it, but virtual reality is the next best thing, and stands to help homeowner better understand what they’re buying and how it will work. It’s another movement in the smart home industry to simplify the process of integrating smart products and systems into a home. Already home systems integrators have the ability to remotely access their clients’ system remotely to update software, diagnose and fix problems, and to monitor the status of certain smart home products. It saves time and money for everyone. Virtual reality smart home tours could do the same thing. The experience is so real that the end result—a completed smart system installation—can be more closely aligned to your expectations. In other words, by viewing a smart home via virtual reality, you can more confidently and accurately express exactly how you’d like your own smart home to perform. This reduces any time or money you might have otherwise spent to modify your systems.

Hunter Douglas and Lutron Add More Styles to Motorized Shading Lines

Hunter Douglas and Lutron are masters at marrying technology and home decor. Each company offers an extensive line of motorized window treatments, and recently they have added even more options. Whether you’re looking for neutral colors or vibrant hues, sheer or heavy textures, or anything in between, there’s likely a fabric that can be integrated with motorized hardware.

From Lutron

Lutron Electronics announces the availability of a refreshed edition of its popular Gallery Collection motorized shades. This newly refreshed offering features the latest in fabrics and materials, as well as shade styles previously housed in other Lutron collections. This update comes at the request of Lutron customers for a simplified, consolidated collection.

“As fashion and trends evolve, so does the need to update Lutron’s fabric offerings,” says Ed Blair, senior vice president at Lutron. “With the refreshed Gallery Collection, Lutron customers now have even more choices in colors, textures, and styles that cater to a wide variety of spaces.”

The collection contains:

• New roller fabrics with more neutral colors and textures. The Gallery Collection is a revamped edition of Lutron’s fashion fabrics and materials for roller shades, horizontal sheer blinds, wood blinds, and vertical draperies.
• Stained and painted Eden Woods, a light-weight material that allows for longer wood blind slats without finger-jointing, completely eliminating unsightly seams in the wood. These materials can accommodate blinds up to 108-inches wide and 120-inches tall, and utilize Intelligent Tilt Alignment, which enables uniform lift and tilt position across several shades.
• Horizontal sheer blinds are now available in two new colors, Cocoa Bean and Black. Fabric vanes maintain perfect alignment across adjacent blinds. Customers can save a favorite tilt setting as a preset or adjust vanes to a precise level. Vanes are available in both 2 inches and 3 inches.

Lutron is also committed to providing customers with a streamlined process for customized shading solutions. Custom graphics can be printed on roller shade fabrics, or roller fabrics can be printed to match any Pantone color. Custom printing is also available for any pattern or color on a soft fabric for a Kirbé vertical drapery. Lutron wood blinds can be painted as well to match any Sherwin Williams paint color.

Lutron’s revamped Gallery Collection now includes new roller fabrics with more neutral colors and textures.

From Hunter Douglas

Hunter Douglas is rolling out its new Designer Roller Shades with several options in fabric styles and innovative, cordless design. From sheers to opaques, the offering—all told more than 300 colors, textures and patterns make up the collection—helps homeowners add a touch of polished personality to every space. Pink? Geometric patterns? The new collection lets you get creative with your motorized shading solutions.

The shades, like all of Hunter Douglas’ designs, are custom made and available with complementary top and bottom finishes for a clean, harmonious appearance. The Designer Roller Shades compatible with PowerView Motorization for automated operation and they integrate with the brand’s new Custom Clutch featuring a sleek, precision-tuned lift technology and an ultra-slim design for greater privacy and a smooth performance.

Renovated Playroom Designed for Listening to Vinyl and Watching Dolby Atmos Movies

Having a special place in the house for the kids to play is a dream of any parent. But when the kids grow up and move out, what once was a room of constant activity goes silent and unused. Rather than let that happen, the owners of this award-winning entertainment space contacted the home systems integrators at EDG (Electronics Design Group), of Piscataway, N.J., to transform the roughly 21-by-15-foot outdated playroom into a modern media getaway where they could partake in two of their passions: watching movies and listening vinyl. The project recently earned the Electronic House Home of the Year, 2017 Gold Award for Best Casual Entertainment Space. See other Home of the Year winners here.

Media Room Pulls Double Duty: Movies and Music

Typically, homeowners will either create a room dedicated to one or the other activity; rarely both. But in this case, the owner wanted the area to do double duty, performing as a top-notch two-channel listening room for his extensive collection of vinyl and as a high-caliber home theater that could play Dolby Atmos surround sound. “Function would prevail over form in this room,” says EDG’s Christina Larkin. “We selected and configured the Definitive Technology loudspeakers in a way that could be used for both Dolby Atmos when the homeowners watch movies and also for two-channel listening when they want to spin vinyl.”

Control4 Transitions the Space from One Activity to the Other

The furniture layout was purposely configured to make both activities as comfortable as possible. A pair of leather chairs swivel toward the Clearaudio Concept turntable and neatly displayed vinyl, then back toward the 70-inch Sony 4K TV for movies. An L-shape couch provides seating for both areas, as well. Controlling the audio and video equipment that serves each area is just as easy and seamless, thanks to a Control4 handheld remote. EDG customized the labeling of buttons to simplify the set-up of the A/V equipment and the room environment. A button labeled movie, for example, activates the surround-sound receiver and TV and dims the room lights. Music, on the other hand, cues the tube amplifier and turntable and keeps the lights at a brighter setting.

Bubble Lamps Provide Light and Enhance the Audio

No matter what the homeowners choose to do or where they sit, EDG made sure that the audio would sound as the filmmaker or musician intended by adding various acoustical treatments to the room. One of the most interesting and innovative applications of acoustical products are Nelson Bubble Lamps. Hung from the ceiling these lamps provide light and their soft material helps reduce audio reverberation and improve intelligibility of movie dialogue and music lyrics. Not to mention, they complement the room’s mid-century modern vibe.

The less noticeable parts of the acoustical design include isolation platforms for each subwoofer, free-standing speaker, turntable, tube amp, and CD player; bass traps in the corners, and wooden wall-mounted diffusers to help spread the audio evenly across the room. EDG also tucked away of the equipment except for the turntable, tube amp, and LP collection. “These components are just as much a part of the room design as the light fixtures and furniture,” Larkin says. “The homeowner wanted to be able to see and touch this technology so we made sure to create an attractive way to showcase it.”

As for the gear that feeds content to the Sony TV, EDG tucked the DirecTV box, Blu-ray player, and Apple TV into an equipment rack in a nearby laundry room. The end result is a room that exudes high-tech cool and satisfies the owners’ need for an environment that could be provide double the entertainment enjoyment.
