Marissa Brassfield — April 25, 2009 — Art & Design
The iHouse SmartFaucet is an incredibly intelligent bathroom faucet that lets you stay connected no matter where you are or what time it is. An integrated camera with face recognition software lets the SmartFaucet discern between sink users. When a familiar face is detected, its exact temperature and water pressure automatically adjust to that user’s settings.
The iHouse SmartFaucet also has a touchscreen that lets users check their e-mail, see their personal calendar and access weather information. On the faucet end of things, the SmartFaucet features an internal heating coil, temperature-sensitive color-changing LEDs and an adjustable water flow.
