Have you ever witnessed the 1980's concept of future technology? The silver jump suits and home automation machines? Well ...one of them is in the making and is planned to be brought into effect in around 2020 (not silver jump suits)!!!
Ambient Intelligence is starting to become a reality looking at the work that Philips Electronics have been currently working upon. Rather than Home-Automation, Philips are looking at how ambient intelligence can improve entertainment within the household.
The 2 projects which seem most exciting at the moment are Ambilight and AmBX (see all of Philips current projects here)
Ambilight - This ambient technology will immerse you into a whole new T.V. experience.
Using colours and tones, Philips have been able to create a new way in which we experience our television viewing experience. It is the idea of switching between different colours to intensivy the mood of the moment on the screen.
AmBX - This technology is going to be favoured by games worldwide! This is a mix of the previous Ambilight technology and a lot more extra features. These extra features include responsive fans and scents! Philips have already created a scripting language that can be applied to computer games to initiate the ambient experience during gameplay. Imagine playing 'Call of Duty' and standing beneathe a helicoptor when amBX starts the fans to blow at a certain speed, the Ambilight changes colour to intensify the dropoff of your backup from the helicoptor, and during all of this, the scent of the woods is being created and omitted throughout the room by combining a number of primary scents! This is the AmBX gaming experience! Here's a short demonstration video of what AmBX is capable of to keep all the gamers satisfied until this technology goes public ;), enjoy....
