Entertainment Center Windows (No, The Glass Kind)
from the Microsoft-lawyers-must-be-shaking-in-their-loafers dept
Imagine that. Here's an article that talks about amazing technological advances in windows for home entertainment and has absolutely nothing to do with Microsoft. It's an article talking about advances in the glass kind of windows (you know, the ones that let you look outside), that will let them become a part of your entertainment center. Window companies are coming up with all sorts of advancements, including a bay window system that one minute will let you look outside, and then with the flip of a switch will turn into a screen where you can project a movie. The side windows turn into speakers (either transparent or opaque - your choice). For the foreseeable future, these seem more like gimmick devices (or ostentatious displays of wealth), but some wonder if they'll make their way into more reasonable architecural designs in the future. Suddenly, you'll be able to design your living room so that the seating faces outward, letting people enjoy the nice view - but when it's time to watch a movie, you just frost the glass over and let the entertainment begin.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
