Smarter Living: Back to the Future?

Posted by British Gas in Your Home, Smarter Living

In 1985, it seemed like the future would comprise only of gullwing cars, hoverboards and instant drying clothes. Back to the Future may have misled a generation, but some of the technology featured is finally coming of age.

Recently, Nike created Marty McFly's famous Mag shoes (although they're not yet self lacing) and now you can imitate the house of 2015, four years early.

Whether you live in Monaco or Manchester, thanks to these dynamic windows by The Sky Factory, you can gaze out onto a stunning panoramic vista whilst eating your cornflakes. And of course, using energy efficient lighting technologies alongside recycled materials, they're not your average heat-leaking windows.

Sky Factory windows are installed everywhere from offices to homes - the combination of mood lighting and stunning visuals are perfect for helping you to unwind. These luminous SkyCeilings are virtual skylights - photographic illusions of real sky views that trigger beneficial "relaxation responses" for mind and body. And if you want something even more dynamic, the Sky Factory's SkyV™ Digital Cinema Display gives you an illusion of real sky displaying the essence of nature's sky events in vivid, hours-long, UltraHD sequences - you can choose from a plethora of scenes; from cherry blossom blowing in a gentle breeze to iridescent clouds drifting across the sky.

Brightening up your environment couldn't be simpler; the modular format means the windows can easily be installed into existing hung ceilings, with just minor changes to lighting systems. It was assumed that everything would be self-assembling in the future but it looks like there's still room for the DIY enthusiast with these.

So the next step, a flying Delorean, right?
