THE SMARTFAUCET by iHOUSE

Posted by

prodfeicon01The SmartFaucet by iHouse uses a facial screening application that recognizes the person using the faucet and it automatically turns on the water to the preferred temperature and flow. Madness? I agree. Did I forget to mention that the touchscreen on the top of the faucet can be used to access your email, calendar, temperature and more.

With the help of face recognition technology, the SmartFaucet triggers the heater, which heats the water quickly to the desired temperature and flow. Different people can trigger the tap in different configurations, without having to reconfigure it. You just don’t have to worry time and again for mixing cold and hot water to reach the ideal temperature and pressure. The integrated LEDs in the tap illuminate to show the variation of temperature, with transition from blue to red for higher temperatures. This superb intersection of form and functionality is bound to attract admiring comments. – Born Rich
