Home Hack

After all, isn?t that the beauty of technology? The chance to make your life more efficient while creating a unique space to call home; the mixture between ambience and innovation. We?ve seen technology attempt to tackle this issue, but there?s something missing: a holistic approach.?The possibilities around personalized, connected home experiences are endless.?
Do you envision a home system that blends music with scent? An interconnected room that uses feeling, sight and smell to create an atmosphere based solely on temperature? Maybe a security system that alerts the senses when prompted? The solution will be up to you during P&G?s Febreze Home Hack.
With more than $10,000 in prizes, this two-day hackathon will bring together developers, designers and entrepreneurs from all over Silicon Valley to work on solutions for the future of personalized homes.
Where: RobotX Space | Silicon Valley, CA
When: March 4-5, 2017
