Matsushita of Japan has built a prototype intelligent house that can be used
as a testbed for future home automation technologies. Each room has at least one
computer linked by optical fibre to a central server that is connected to the
outside world via a modem. Even the toilet is computerised: it acquires data
about a user鈥檚 weight and urine sugar content for uploading to a doctor鈥檚
surgery. The server also keeps track of food-buying habits, so the household
food inventory can be accessed remotely while shopping.
