Microsoft’s Home of the Future Tour
Wednesday, April 18, 2012
4 – 7 p.m. (bus departs at 4:15 pm; returns around 6:30 pm depending on traffic)
$30.00 per person (transportation included)
Separate pre-registration is required. Space is extremely limited. First come-first served.
If there’s no place like home, there’s definitely no place like the Microsoft Home. The full-scale, futuristic Home, located in Microsoft’s Executive Briefing Center, imagines a future in which interacting with computers is as comfortable as coming home. The home is not open to the public, but 15 NAPGCM members have the chance to tour this terrific space that has enabled Microsoft to prototype a truly holistic view of what the future could look and feel like.
