Star Trek -like home computer no comments
This is what I built in my home and this video is my own work. Both the computer and the software is self made. The interface is inspired by the LCARS interface from Star Trek. Shown in this video are: – Agenda/Calendar – Shopping list (Groceries) – Rain radar – Train departure times (because the train station is nearby) – Library & Media player (connected to home cinema set) – Internet browser Not shown, but also operational is bluetooth support (notice the Transfer button to send the shopping list to your telephone) More will be added as I get ideas and time to develop them. Why don’t I control my home lights with this? Because the needed hardware costs a LOT and the light switch next to the door is more practical in the end anyway. Maybe some day I will add it just because it is cool.

*DISCLAIMER* For those of you complaining about me destroying this computer please take note; I found the computer sitting next to a dumpster in the pouring rain. When I got the computer home, I checked to see if it would even turn on and it wouldn’t. The hard drive was falling out of it. The monitor didn’t even work either. It was soaked. It was complete trash. (probably why it was in the trash…) So why not completely destroy it… I do have some common sense. Thank you. =] This was done like, 2 months ago, but I finally found time to edit it. Hope you like it! I know I had fun! XD I made the music!
