Welcome to the AT&T Home of To morrow On behalf of all of our participants and sponsors, welcome to The AT&T Home of Tomorrow. This desi gn and idea show home will have more visitors than any othe r in history! A revolutionary partnership between Hillc rest Custom Homes and Champion Homes, this 1,850 square foot home was built in 30 days. But, it doesn't look like it. And that's the point. In many ways the story of the Home of Tomorrow is as much about the craftsmen and building techniqu es as it is about the high-tech wizardry that makes up the hom e's intelligent systems. We employed a new concept in home-building called off-site stick-building. The exterior of the home is constructed indoors in a controlled environment and then moved to the homesite and placed on a pier and beam foundation. The interior of the home is custom-finished on-site. The home is built to UBC Code and feat ures 9 foot ceilings, 2" x 6" framing, high energy efficiency leve ls, a 100% masonry exterior, and is loaded with high-quality materials, brand-name products and amenities. It has been desi gned to fit comfortably on a typical 55 by 130 foot subdivision lot. The standard home plan is priced at $99,000 excluding land and can be built in about 45 days. Enjoy your tour!
David Yates Developer,The Home Of Tomorrow P.S. Please visit our website at www.The HomeOfTomorrow.com for a complete list of participants and info rmation about the Home.

IT’S ALL IN THE WRIST Time is of the essence for this wireless network prototype phone/watch from AT&T Labs. Users can communicate directly through the wrist device or use the detachable earpiece/microphone. When the earpiece is worn, incoming calls and pages are audible through the earphone. Otherwise pages can be received in vibrating mode. Speech-recognition technology lets users speak into the device to get information, such as sports scores or stock quotes, from the Internet.
RING IN THE NEW Telephones may never look the same as high-speed Internet access incorporates into next-generation devices. It looks like a regular phone but uses a touch-screen interface instead of buttons. The screen also serves as a sketchpad where users can scribble the next theory of relativity or play tictac-toe with friends. Callers can also use it to view photos and even order from their favorite restaurants directly from the menu. Researchers at AT&T Labs have prototyped this device where all applications run over the network – eliminating any risk of viruses.
DOWNHILL RACERS Skiers can use the built-in wireless phone to tell friends what a great time they’re having as they whoosh down the slopes. They can even transmit video of their skiing experience over the Internet using the built-in camera. The wireless Internet link lets skiers pull down maps (projected onto the visors) of the course below to see details and directions for upcoming turns, twists, warnings, and alerts. The prototype goggles from AT&T Labs also provide fullfeatured stereo sound so you can listen to your favorite music all the way down the slope and back up again. In case of emergency, the goggles are linked to the Global positioning Satellite system to provide rescuers with location information.
FOLLOWING IN THEIR FOOTSTEPS Working parents at the office can play with their children at home using this digital videophone mounted inside a transparent ball. Toddlers will know they’re being followed as parents use a remote control console (such as a touch-tone phone or videophone with a trackball) to direct the motorized acrylic ball to trail behind children as they roam around the house. The Kids Communicator prototype from AT&T Labs enables parents and children to see and hear each other through wireless Internet links.

He has exhibited in galleries and museums, slowly building a large collector's list. Diaz is the signature artist for Carlson Wordwide's Samba Room restaurants. He is also generous in his giving at auctions to special organizations to raise funds. The Pegasus Project for Dallas was one where one of Diaz's works was bought for $25,000 by Paul Harris of the Hoblitzel Foundation. Diaz is a fairly new upcoming artist with high potential in the art world.
