Lifestyle Showcase: Better Living Tomorrow
Focusing
on the themes of food preparation, family gathering, relaxation, and
beauty and health, Panasonic presents the "lifestyles we all desire"
technically possible within the next five years. These themes will be
presented in four living environments of the kitchen, dining room,
living room and bedroom, with home interiors and consumer electronics
blended in harmony.
Kitchen
The kitchen encourages rich and healthy eating
habits, like having your own professional chef and nutritionist in your
home, through Panasonic’s advanced kitchen appliances and cloud services
that make preparing nutritionally-balanced gourmet dishes as simple as a
piece of cake.
• Built-in Kitchen
In addition to
Panasonic’s free-style induction hobs and cordless kitchen appliances,
its new ideas include a built-in food maturing stocker for fermenting
and maturing food.
• Cloud Services
Centering around the
Personal Kitchen Screen, demonstrations here will introduce how
connected home appliances can enrich your eating lifestyle with
cloud-based services, such as recommending recipes that match the
family’s eating habits.
Dining
Here a family is able to enjoy a pleasant time
together, full of conversation in a stimulating environment aided by an
unobstructively-designed screen, video and lighting effects and
information updates.

want to listen to it or away from those in the room who may be in
conversation or reading.
Bedroom
With built-in equipment and services fused with the
bedroom environment, the room contributes to the healthy lifestyle of an
individual with health and beauty information similar to that given by a
professional advisor but in the comfort of your own home.
• Your Sleep Manager
To support a good
sleep, Panasonic’s advanced technologies are integrated together, such
as those in sensors, images, air conditioning and sound systems, as well
