(Credit: iHouse)You didn't know you needed this one--a tap that identifies you using facial screening, then pours water at a preset pressure and temperature catered to your preferences.
And that's not all. While you wash your hands, the integrated touch screen on top shows a glimpse of your e-mail and calendar, along with the outside temperature, while built-in LEDs illuminate the pouring water in colors matching the water temperature.
The company responsible for identifying your need for a tricked-out tap is Brazilian design and engineering firm iHouse, which specializes in luxury technology for automated homes and boats.
During the last few years, iHouse products have included the Smarthydro, a bathtub with digital temperature controls, voice messages, and an automatic foot step. It has also launched Smartcontrol, a system that controls lighting, air conditioning, window blinds, and so on; and Smartgate, an automatic garage door that identifies cars by their license plates.
