A new version of Big Brother perhaps?

Not quite. Basically, its a house that Microsoft have kitted out with all the latest gubbins to show how you can live a completeley connected life. The unique thing about this house is that all the devices and appliances are ones that can be bought on the high street rather than pie in the sky stuff we'll never see.

Here's the official blurb:

Did you know you can both watch the news and brush your hair while looking in the mirror? Have you ever wanted to pause your favourite programme while you answer the door? We’ll show you how you can make life easier for your family and friends, whether you’re working, relaxing or entertaining. By showcasing today’s technology in a real home, we’ll inspire you with new ways to get the most out of staying in touch with your friends, organising your day, sorting out your bills, helping your kids with homework, playing games and listening to music in any room in your house. And for those times when you need to be at the office but can’t be, you’ll discover how simple it is to really work from home. You’ll be surprised by all of the exciting possibilities we have for you!

I have some other info that i'll put up once i find it. Looks like it will be great fun though :)
