While many may argue that these technologies are becoming popular only now, one may have to note that some of these technologies were already featured in yesteryear Hollywood movies (at least a mention of them). Accordingly, let\u2019s take a look at some really exciting smart home technologies that may have very well been inspired by the Hollywood movies that showcased them.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Smart\/Switchable Glass Technology<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Smart glass technology refers to glass that can alter its visible properties in accordance with light, heat or voltage. Controlled by the user, the flick of a switch can help the glass transform its light transmission properties so that is becomes opaque at one instant and dark or reflective the next instant. While many may think that smart glasses are popular only now, one can\u2019t help but remember how such a smart glass featured in the Hollywood film Blade Runner which released way back in 1982.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Home Automation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While home automation is a fairly new concept with homes being installed with automated lighting and security options, a look back at the \u2018Jetsons\u2019 cartoon will have one searching for an explanation. The very popular futuristic family cartoon clearly portrayed a clear picture of what lay in store for the earth in the years to come, complete with automated lighting, appliances and even hovercrafts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Artificial Intelligence<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The use of robots to complete specific as well as daily tasks has increased over the years. Studies are also underway to create robots that can think and act independently. One may consider artificial intelligence to be the by product of recent Hollywood flicks.<\/p>\n<p>However, the very first mention of a robot was used in the sci-fi play titled R.U.R by Karel Capel. The movie I, Robot also featured the three laws of robotics that were originally coined by sci-fi writer Isaac Asimov (and was based on his work, of course, the movie took some creative freedoms).<\/p><div class=\"4af0d39e3ff1bdbae5976e2330eb4205\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9477973674766713\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8885944693\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>A slew of sci-fi flicks released since then have increasingly portrayed robots as intelligent machines that can think on their own and possibly take over the world one day (case in point: the Terminator series).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other noteworthy mentions <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Apart from these smart home technologies that were more or less inspired by Hollywood flicks, here are some noteworthy mentions of the same in other movies which we will most surely love to see in the near future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Theodore Twombly\u2019s Apartment, Film \u2013 Her<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Theodore\u2019s apartment in the movie \u2018Her\u2019 boasted of one particular smart home aspect, the absence of screens for the computer, television or gaming device. His OS talks to him via a smart earbud while he plays a projected VR\/AR game using nothing but his hand gestures which are tracked by the device. He is also able to chat with the character in the game, bicker with his AI pal and even pull out images of hot dates on his furniture.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Korben Dallas\u2019 Flat, Film \u2013 The Fifth Element<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This sci-fi flick had us amazed with its spectacular use of smart technology all over. But what stood out was Korben Dallas\u2019s flat which featured an automatic pull out bed, automated lights and music that switch on when the individual wakes up, a button based control panel to control his automated home appliances, including his coffee machine, refrigerator and even a moving shower.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The McFly House, Film \u2013 Back to the Future II<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Back to the Future series took us on some pretty amazing journeys. If the time travel machines were one thing, the McFly house in Part II had us gaping in wonder at the scene screen windows that can be tuned to display the scenery channel, voice automated fruit baskets, five second pizza hydrators and even Skype played out on Smart TV of sorts. But first, let\u2019s get that hoveboard.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many sci-fi Hollywood flicks have showcased glimpses of the smart technologies that could find place in every home in the near future. Most of the smart home technologies we see today may very well have been inspired by these movies that released years ago when the concept of smart home technology did not even exist.<\/p>\n<div class=\"4af0d39e3ff1bdbae5976e2330eb4205\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n          <p><a id=\"link-15\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;\" id=\"img-15\" src=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\r\n            <script>\r\n            var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n              if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n                var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText);\r\n                document.getElementById(\"link-\"+myObj.id).setAttribute('href',myObj.url);\r\n                document.getElementById(\"img-\"+myObj.id).setAttribute('src','https:\/\/fetch.stg-httpsdrpremcom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/\/uploads\/'+myObj.image);\r\n              }\r\n            };\r\n            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.stg-httpsdrpremcom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/\/api\/Ads\/15\", true);\r\n            xmlhttp.send();\r\n            <\/script>\r\n        \r\n        <style>\r\n        *{box-sizing:border-box}.top-container{display: grid;grid-template-columns: auto auto auto;}.column{float:left;width:100%;padding: 0 7.5px 15px 7.5px;}.row{margin:0 -5px}.row:after{content:\"\";display:table;clear:both}@media screen and (max-width: 600px){.top-container{display: block;grid-template-columns: unset;}.column{width:100%;display:block;margin-bottom:20px}}.card{text-align:center;}.card_image img{width:100%}.card_body{padding:15px}.card_title{font-size: 14px;line-height: 19px;text-decoration: none;text-align:left;color: #333;}.card-heading{text-align: left;margin-bottom: 25px !important;}\r\n        <\/style>\r\n        <div class=\"row todays-top\">\r\n            <h3 class=\"card-heading\"> Recent Articles: <\/h3><div class=\"top-container\" id=\"todays-top\">\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <script>\r\n            var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n            if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n            var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText); \r\n            myObj.forEach(function(item) {\r\n            document.getElementById('todays-top').innerHTML += '<div class=\"column\"><div class=\"card\"><div class=\"card_image\"><a href=\"'+item.url+'\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"'+item.image+'\"><\/a><\/div><div class=\"card_body\"><a href=\"'+item.url+'\"><h3 class=\"card_title\">'+item.title+'<\/h3><\/a><a href=\"'+item.url+'\">Read more<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>';\r\n            });\r\n            }\r\n            };\r\n            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.stg-httpsdrpremcom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/api\/Drprem_blogs\", true);\r\n            xmlhttp.send();\r\n            <\/script>\r\n        \r\n        \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<style>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.videoWrapper{position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0}.videoWrapper iframe{position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/style>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"videoWrapper\" id=\"video_7\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvar xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                document.getElementById(\"video_\"+myObj.id).innerHTML = myObj.embed_video_code;\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            }\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            };\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.stg-httpsdrpremcom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/api\/Videos\/7\", true);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.send();\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/script>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The number of homes opting for smart technologies is on the rise these days.
