I remember sometime back looking at a website with a tour of the Microsoft Digital Home, the tech demo home that shows off advanced stuff like biometrics etc.
I have been searching and searching and can't find a link. I just got an apartment and I want to make it look like some of that. I was watching the C9 video on the digital home in the UK, but I'm not too crazy about some of their furniture.
Anyone have a link or know if the site is still available? I'm pretty sure it was part of Microsoft.com.

When I was in eHome, we were given a tour. There are actually two biometric systems - the retinal scan, and a fingerprint scanner.
The fingerprint scanner looks like a vertical pull bar like you see in stores.
