Microsoft Home Tours (Optional)
21 – 22 July 2008

   

   

Delegates attending IE 08 have the opportunity to attend a tour of the Microsoft Home - designing home technology for the future. Located on Microsoft Corp.'s Redmond, Wash. campus, the Microsoft® Home is a concept facility that models technology that might enhance life at home five to 10 years from now. Microsoft uses the facility to research and test future consumer technology concepts and explore how people use technology in the home.

The Microsoft Home is housed within Microsoft's Executive Briefing Center. Although it's not a stand-alone house, the Microsoft Home simulates a domestic environment including a front door, entry/foyer, kitchen, family room, dining room, entertainment room and bedroom.
Although the technologies within it look to the future, the Microsoft Home is designed to look and feel very much like a sleek, contemporary home of today.

There will be 3 tours in total on the following dates and time. Space is limited and it will be on a first come first served basis.

Monday, 21 July
Tour 1 – 17.15 hrs
