“Okay, let’s get into the technique.”

From the front door's facial recognition to the kitchen, living room, bathroom, and bed, the Internet of Things has been incorporated. On a rainy day, I visited Dustmartium. Since the opening of the smart home and smart city in April, Dustmartium, which usually receives about 30 visitors three times a day at 10:00, 12:00, and 2:00, had no visitors, perhaps because of the weather. Despite this,

'I have to do the interview'

After turning on all the devices that were turned off to save electricity, I stood in front of the mirror next to the closet. It is not a regular mirror, but a smart mirror that allows you to try on clothes through a video without having to wear them yourself. If Amazon's Echo Look takes photos and videos and shows them on your phone, the smart mirror is literally a mirror. First, I chose women and men and tried on clothes from outerwear to T-shirts, pants, and dresses by gesturing with my hands.



'Well, it's not that fat?'

Because of the design of the pants I was wearing, I ended up wearing size XL which didn't fit my body type.

I was tired of doing all kinds of poses, so I made a video and downloaded the FitNshop app. There were more brands than I thought, like Hyunx, Lotte, and xBalance. After choosing clothes, you can do a virtual fitting and even buy them. However, in order to make the video and put the clothes on the video, I had to download the clothes. It may vary depending on your internet speed, but it took the reporter 3 minutes to download the T-shirt.

'Well, it would be faster to try on clothes?'




In the bedroom, there is SK's AI speaker 'Who'. Its name is Tinkerbell. It says that it can give three commands: "Tinkerbell, turn on the air conditioner." "Tinkerbell, turn on the air purifier." "Tinkerbell, turn on the music." In a hurry, I said, "Tinkerbell, turn on the air conditioner, air purifier, and music." But there was no response. I completed the experience by calling Tinkerbell three times and giving individual commands.

It was my first time meeting someone in person, so I spoke to her from a distance. One step was easy, and two steps were okay. But when I called her from three steps away, she said, “Tinkerbell, turn off the music,” perhaps because the space in the experience center was wide open.

It's completely dark again with no news. The lights and TV in the bedroom were not connected.



I sat on the living room sofa. Since I didn't have a remote control, I reached out to the TV and 'clicked'. It didn't recognize me at first, so I clicked here and there, and the light on the left and the fan on the right turned on and off alternately. The image was a video, not a TV channel, and only supported play and pause, and there was no function to change channels or adjust the volume.



There are air, humidity, and light sensors in the indoor environment. I couldn’t confirm whether these sensors were working properly on site, so I asked the person in charge, and the answer I got was, “When the indoor carbon dioxide is high, the sensors circulate the outside air, and when the humidity is high and mold can grow, the temperature is raised. The light sensor is an LED that allows users to select the color, and when there is no one, the light does not come on, which reduces unnecessary electricity waste.” The lighting is similar to the existing shoe cabinet lights that turn on and off.

The kitchen was equipped with a smart refrigerator, a gas leak detector, an IoT rice cooker, and a coffee machine. The smart refrigerator had notes of visitors. I tried to add a word to the note that said, “I’m here,” but the touch display was slow to respond, so I gave up.

Since I've recently gotten used to voice assistants, I pressed the microphone button and asked, "Are you there?" Again, there was no response. It was voice recording, not voice recognition. All items in the refrigerator, including vegetables, fruits, and side dishes, must be entered using the touch display.





In addition, I was not able to experience the IoT rice cooker, coffee machine, and gas range. If the ideal IoT is realized, coffee will be made and rice will be cooked at the time entered into the application by the user. Also, the gas range will heat the stew with the app, and the exhaust fan will automatically turn on when a leak is detected.




Before leaving the house (experience center), you can check the weather, bus and bus stop information at the front door. It is not information based on actual data, and it is not necessary bus stop information, but it is a screen that allows you to check how fast you should run if you are at your house, whether you can walk, whether you should bring an umbrella, and whether you should wear more outerwear.

On one side, startup products were displayed. From LED toothbrushes to skin humidity sensors, face washers that wash with foam, and pill bottles that tell you when to take your medicine, visitors can experience them and check detailed performance and prices on the monitor before purchasing them. Although visitors cannot actually use the products except for the skin humidity meter, it seemed meaningful that they could interact with startup companies.
