The design of the apartments have evolved in the last few years, and will continue developing with technology advancements. The apartment of the future is a complete new concept, it pervades and enhances as the architects and designers adopt new styles and feats.

Below listed are a few technologies that are comprises to define apartment of the future:

Delivery Drones

These drones can drop off packets and other utilities into another apartment safely and securely. This technology will lower down the use of elevator system as it will help people in delivering things to another resident’s apartment with the help of drone.

Robotic Parking

It will become an essential feature within the apartments as the site size will decrease, and automatic parking will make systematic sequencing of cars while saving valuable space and time. As a part of robotic parking, drone landing pads will be also used so that cars can be transported vertically outside the building to the right parking location. The car drivers will then be able to instruct parking with the touch of a smartphone app.

Self-Driving Cars

Within the few years, the roads are going to experience autonomous cars dominating the urban areas. There will be special parking for those vehicles that can automatically park themselves while for human-driven cars, the apartments will accommodate robotic parking system as listed above.

Smart Exteriors

In the process of creating apartments for the future, designers will propose only the lightweight and incredible strong carbon fibre. Such kinetic façade exterior will out bring energy and movement combined with energy efficient LED lighting that will assist in growth of vegetation. Therefore, the apartment of the future will produce solar as well as wind energy as a feature of smart exteriors.

Luxury Amenities

Residents in the apartments of the future are going to enjoy the on-the-go lifestyle which includes one feature as smart phone enabled entry. The residents can provide limited access time to enter and also reset the time as per the requirement. There will be bigger and functional closet spaces into rooms and also huge balconies. The residents will also experience gas cook tops and recycled glass counter tops in the kitchens.

How Augmented Reality Works?

Computer graphics have grown to extended levels in the present times. Graphic designers and researchers are now working together to pull graphics out of the screens right to merge with the real-world environments. Commonly known as the Augmented Reality, it is capable enough to blur out the difference that lies between computer-generated graphics and real objects.

Augmented reality aligns with the concepts of virtual reality and generates immersive computer-generated environments similar to the real world. It adds various elements bringing an experience of the natural world. Such elements are:

  • Graphics
  • Sounds
  • Haptic feedback, and
  • Smell of the natural world

The prominent drivers in the development of augmented reality are video games and smartphones. Users and gamers can now visualize themselves walking down a street. Displays in augmented reality look similar to a normal set of glasses, but these glasses display informative graphics in your field of view. In addition, augmented reality also lets you experience sound as well as smell. When you move your head, the setup will refresh all these elements to reflect the movement. Some smartphones, such as iPhone already supports this technology and lets you enjoy games and videos with extrasensory information giving you a whole new experience.
