- Future Lifestyle
Lifestyle Showcase: Better Living Tomorrow -- Future Lifestyle with Connected Appliances
With its advanced appliances connected to a network, Panasonic will create a multipurpose living area by fusing the kitchen and living and dining rooms into one where the family and friends can congregate and share time together, yet each one can have enough space to spend one’s time in one’s own way. As an example of “the lifestyle we all desire” technically achievable within the next three to five years, Panasonic presents an enriched lifestyle as envisaged by sharing the space with loved and special ones.
Multipurpose space allowing to share experiences
This corner will feature a simple, interactive, and harmonious living environment in a manner that reflects personal preferences in daily life. The spatial environment can be changed depending on personal behavior to ensure comfort and to produce unexpected excitement anywhere.
･ In/visible library, glass curtain
Transparent
displays are blended into the home’s interior - invisible as they are
built into cupboard doors or sliding doors. The displays show images
only when necessary.
･ Lighting and audio-visual equipment
Lighting
and sound change in response to personal movement. The equipment
effectively changes the atmosphere depending on the situation.
Equipment and services that reflect personal preferences and increase satisfaction
This corner will feature a living environment that enables access to appropriate information and offers support on various occasions in daily life. The cooking experience helps to enjoy meals and conversation.
･ Sake & wine cellar
This cellar
keeps different types of alcoholic beverages, such as sake and wine, at
optimal temperature and humidity. A transparent display is used as the
door to show a variety of information such as information about the
drinks inside and recipes of dishes that go well with them.
･ Range hoods equipped with a camera
Panasonic’s
range hoods achieve accurate sensing of cooking conditions. The

･ New Concept Built-in Cooker
Panasonic’s
new cooker is based on a concept totally different from that of
induction hobs and griddles. It is also built into a table. The
operation is simple - put ingredients on a dish and set it on the
cooker. No pot or frying pan is required because the cooker heats only
the ingredients. The cooker presents a new cooking experience that keeps
freshly cooked dishes hot and tasty until the end of a meal.
･ Cloud services
The cloud services
are designed to present recipes for increasing the joy of cooking and
making up variations. Working in tandem with a range hood equipped with
a camera, the cloud services enable connected cooking appliances to
share information and control the temperature, so that multiple dishes
can be completed simultaneously. Great food makes your party with
special ones even more special.
･ All in One Laundry

machine does a series of time-consuming laundry chores, from washing,
drying and folding, to storage, based on image analysis and robotics
technologies. This allows for more leisure time.

and lets users know what is left in the refrigerator. It is connected
with the cloud via a home server to support various aspects of daily
life.
