Domestic Deliverables

Home Cinema

The Room Is The Television

For this area I would like to develop a system of complete luxury and usability.

With your permission for a room to be devoted to a home cinema, we will install OLED technology into the walls floors and furniture so the picture comes to life in the whole room. Combined with 3D imagery the walls will come to life and you will feel like you are in the television program or movie. You can manipulate the settings as well if you want to watch it off one wall for example.

This system would have the following features:

· Internet
· Movie library rather than storing dvds in the house and downloading link to internet
· Music library
· “Special scenes” Program that has different scenes that you can just have on for lighting effects for example, watching a sunset in the African Planes, a fire on a beach at night, or simply candles all around the room. If it is raining outside for example you could have a picnic on a sunny day indoors, or put on the fire. You can match these scenes with music of your choice.
· “Feed Me Now” Interactive Take away menu system for ordering food online from a pad in your armchair
· Complete TV on demand, interactive menus for each channel so you can just select what you want to watch, when. No need for a recording system
· Reclining armchairs that vibrate at the push of a button and remain out of the screen. It also converts into a complete multi gym exercise machine so you can work out in “different locations”
· “Vrooom Vrooom watch out it’s Finlay and Jessica!” A section of the room will be an interactive area for the children. You can select this option from the command pad and they can interact with the program by pushing buttons and playing games. It can produce different textures and sound music and an interactive voice/characters guiding them through the game, story or educational exercise. A wide variation of these options will be available. Hand print recognition so that the kids can’t use the system when there not supposed to! There will be secret patches that make funny noises if you find them.
· “Command Pad” will be in the armchair underneath the arm rests the control centre of the system
· Most up to date surround sound with speakers perfectly placed inside the wall so that optimum sound can be heard at any point in the room. Additional speakers will be placed around the home to play music or hear the television all around the home (these settings are completely user defined)

I designed this system for you because you are very passionate about film and sound. Here we have combined these interests in this complete Home Cinema System named Vroom (Virtual Room). You and your family will be able to enjoy all aspects of this new technology. The only problem is you may not ever want to leave your house again! The software will be updated for the kids as they get older otherwise it would date very quickly. I think it is personal in the way that the interactivity parts are named in a way that is relatable. I want it to feel like a friendly system and to also give you that wow factor. Everything you could want as requested is at the touch of a button.

I made the system in one room because it will be completely immersing. The room will not be able to be used for anything else other than what is mentioned, but I believe it will be worth the sacrifice for the quality and realistic imagery that will surround the user. The internet is necessary for the interactive menus to be updated and to order through for take away or whatever is required. Also communication over the web and the view of the web in general can be enhanced. Space saving for the DVD’s as a massive library will be required, given also that the children’s toys take over the house anyway. Music would be required to compliment the “Special Scenes” again to create and atmosphere. Also the kids like to have music on whilst they play.


The “Special Scenes” feature is one that I thought the kids could get a lot out of but could also create effects for relaxation and atmosphere for you adults also. Combining your love for take away and sitting down the “Feed me now” element seemed the logical solution to making this system perfect for your indulgences! The next step for TV on demand. It is natural progression really, were going to get there any way you might as well have it first! You will never have to worry about missing your favourite shows. There is also the back up of having the internet if you delete a program by accident.As a safety precaution I included the multi gym to make sure there was never a complete excuse to do nothing physically as this system could quite possibly turn you into a vegetable! I think it’s only right that at least the option is there. Of course it is absolutely essential to watch Tv like this in complete comfort of a state of the art armchair.

I think the kid’s area is perfect for what you are looking for. It’s personally designed for your two little ones and can keep them entertained as they get older. (Shhh but It can surprise the kids and turn into a visit from Santa at Christmas!) An easily accessible sound pad that can control the system easily from a fixed place, and practical so that the kids can’t break it!The sound quality will be the best available and you can adapt the speakers to where and how loud you want them.
