Lifestyle Showcase: Better Living
Tomorrow -- Future Lifestyle with Connected
Appliances
With its advanced appliances connected to a network, Panasonic
will create a multipurpose living area by fusing the kitchen and
living and dining rooms into one where the family and friends can
congregate and share time together, yet each one can have enough
space to spend one’s time in one’s own way. As an example of “the
lifestyle we all desire” technically achievable within the next
three to five years, Panasonic presents an enriched lifestyle as
envisaged by sharing the space with loved and special ones.
Multipurpose space allowing to share experiences
This corner will feature a simple, interactive, and harmonious
living environment in a manner that reflects personal preferences
in daily life. The spatial environment can be changed depending on
personal behavior to ensure comfort and to produce unexpected
excitement anywhere.
・ In/visible library, glass
curtainTransparent displays are blended into the home’s
interior - invisible as they are built into cupboard doors or
sliding doors. The displays show images only when necessary.
・ Lighting and audio-visual
equipmentLighting and sound change in response to personal
movement. The equipment effectively changes the atmosphere
depending on the situation.
Equipment and services that reflect personal preferences and
increase satisfaction
This corner will feature a living environment that enables
access to appropriate information and offers support on various
occasions in daily life. The cooking experience helps to enjoy
meals and conversation.
・ Sake & wine cellarThis cellar
keeps different types of alcoholic beverages, such as sake and
wine, at optimal temperature and humidity. A transparent display is
used as the door to show a variety of information such as
information about the drinks inside and recipes of dishes that go
well with them.
・ Range hoods equipped with a
cameraPanasonic’s range hoods achieve accurate sensing of
cooking conditions. The temperature of induction hobs is properly
controlled to get professional-level cooking at home. The progress
of cooking can also be checked.
・ New Concept Built-in
CookerPanasonic’s new cooker is based on a concept totally
different from that of induction hobs and griddles. It is also
built into a table. The operation is simple - put ingredients on a
dish and set it on the cooker. No pot or frying pan is required
because the cooker heats only the ingredients. The cooker presents
a new cooking experience that keeps freshly cooked dishes hot and
tasty until the end of a meal.
・ Cloud servicesThe cloud services
are designed to present recipes for increasing the joy of cooking
and making up variations. Working in tandem with a range hood
equipped with a camera, the cloud services enable connected cooking
appliances to share information and control the temperature, so
that multiple dishes can be completed simultaneously. Great food
makes your party with special ones even more special.
・ All in One LaundryThis laundry
machine does a series of time-consuming laundry chores, from
washing, drying and folding, to storage, based on image analysis
and robotics technologies. This allows for more leisure time.
・ Home controllerThe home
controller is designed to control all home appliances, including
lighting, and provide helpful information. For example, the
controller also detects and lets users know what is left in the
refrigerator. It is connected with the cloud via a home server to
support various aspects of daily life.
Lifestyle Showcase: Peace of mind for
your life
