Smart Home

What is OPENARCH?

Openarch is a real prototype of a smart home.

The first home designed from scratch to incorporate a digital layer connecting the house and its elements to the Internet. Its inhabitants lead a new digital and connected life. It is flexible and thanks to its ability to transform, it can adapt to any condition that the user requires.

The digital layer – which from now on we will call D. OS (domestic operating system) – includes a series of components that allow users to stay connected to anyone or any place; control the house’s components by the movement of the body; hold conferences from home; know the power consumption at any time; activate any electrical household appliance from work; share a live video of your cooking recipes with the rest of the world; create your own TV set in the lounge, and so on.

Smart Tasting Prototype

The main objective of the prototype is to connect tasting and cooking processes, improving and augmenting the experience. The prototype projects personalised information about the course that clients taste. On the other side, cooks are connected with the tasting experience with a real time projection of the table. Objects like plates, glasses, cutlery etc. become interfaces to interact with the information.

The prototype integrates the Internet of Things concept into the tasting experience, mixing food with technology.
