My new idea is something that would probably revolutionize the way windows are used it your household. This new idea involves windows to be made out of touch screen glass in order for this new idea to work. On the window's touch screen interface there will be a control menu. This control menu would be used to control a multitude of things that are used in conjunction with the window such as a curtain or an awning. This menu will have control over the awning and the corners opening and closing.
The menu will have a function that would make the window sensitive to weather conditions and sunlight. For example, don't you hate when snow accumulates and builds up on your window. If it were snowing you would set the window's responsive temperature to 34 degrees Fahrenheit. When snow begins to hit the window it would heat up over time and melt the snow as it continuously comes down from the sky. In conjunction with heating up the window would make the awning above it expand in order to further minimize the amount of snow that hits the window. When the sun begins to reach those hot summer temperatures and you want to close the shades, however there is a scene on your favorite soap opera that is about to come on and you don't want to miss it. Don't worry when there is a will there is a way, the window automatically adjust to the hot temperature and close the curtains for you so you don't have to get up.
Last class we learned about different forms of networking. Some of the most popular, such as twitter and facebook would positively affect the success of this idea. Facebook is a social networking site that i can use to create a page and get people to like it in order to get my ideas out. Twitter is also another social networking site that can help move my plans along. Through twitter I could tweet updates about the progress of my ideas and let the whole world see.
So would all the windows in a house be this type of a window or would there just be one of these windows in perhaps every room. This sounds somewhat of minority report style. Pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely a great idea. I think its great especially when you are feeling lazy and do not want to get up you can just program what you want the window to do and it will do it. The component that the window can adjust temperatures based on the outside weather I think is really cool. I'd like to see how this idea can come to life because I think it would be successful.
ReplyDeleteI could very much see this idea being used sometime in the near future. They already have transparent glass that was designed for the front of beer cases to project the prices and logos and whatnot. I think that putting this projection glass on the windows would significantly change the household culture we live in today. and the use of social media would just enable the shareing of much more information to a huge variety of people
ReplyDeleteThis seems like a cool technology I could see future windows having this ability. Maybe instead of having each individual window have this technology built in to it you could have a computer that detects the temperature outside and the computer could control all the windows in a house. That would be cheaper, but this is still a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThis seems like a very good idea. If the touchpad for some reason stops working however, it could be very frustrating. A backup manual system might me necessary.
ReplyDeleteIt is a really good idea, I think that it would be really convenient and it would change the lifestyle of many people.
