A tech conference presented the idea of a movie theater entertainment area in our own homes. The CEDIA Expo in Atlanta, Georgia expects the futuristic living room to become a reality. The question is, is it worth it?
This must-have will cost roughly $500,000. The TV measures 4 yards in width and 61/2 feet in height. Imagine having 1,350 pounds of technology in your home, which equals the weight of a dairy cow. Delivery may serve a problem, considering the TV may not fit through the front door, let alone an elevator for business use.
The simulated chairs and 3D display help the viewer feel like they are inside the film. The chairs cost about $7,500, and $8,000 for a couch. These comfy devices shake, vibrate and tilt slightly for entertainment purposes and won't cause a headache.
In addition to the chairs and new big screen, it is essential the sound meets the same top quality. Speakers hooked up with microphones is the solution to premium surround sound. Steve Colburn, product developer at Triad Speakers, said the best speakers would be installed in a giant meadow, but if they're in a boxed living room, they don't sound so good. The speakers hooked up to microphones creates a cleaner sound, without noise bouncing around making a mess of noise.
It's up to you, is this futuristic living room worth the price?
