Smart Energy GB presents: ‘The eco-friendly home of the future’ and its high-tech home goods
As part of a campaign for energy conservation in the U.K., metering company Smart Energy GB gathered several experts and analysts and grilled them on what technology we could expect to see in homes of the near future. After putting their heads together, we were astonished at some of the ideas they came up with. Since the point of this campaign is energy conservation, all of the technology presented runs on renewable or sustainable power. In the video, you’ll see all the ways that this power can be harnessed for comfort and entertainment, such as video-wallpapers or hydroponic gardens straight out of “Back to the Future.” While much of this technology is speculative, the idea is that these innovations aren’t too far off for folks to enjoy at home. And, most importantly, it’s possible to engineer all this to be eco-friendly.

Futuristic planters let anyone have a green thumb
This one is just fun. Rather than worry about making sure your plants have enough water, wouldn’t it be convenient if your plant could tell you it was thirsty? That’s exactly the idea the developers at Mu Design Luxembourg had when they developed Lua, an adorable smart planter that puts a bit of personality into your little green friends. According to the creators, the cute design and level of personality are intended to make your household plant more like a household pet. That’s quite an achievement and one that’s sure to be popular. Plants don’t need to be picked up after, anyway.
