Smoobe is a cozy technological home setting combining craft with domotics, Artificial Intelligence with home warmth, innovation with tradition, or, more concretely, the traditional Tyrolean stube aesthetic with a state-of-the-art data collecting and processing system. Through sensors hidden among table, chairs and lamp hanging from the ceiling, data will be processed by the servers, which will contribute to heat the environment by replacing the regular wood-burning system. You will find a cozy warmth near the stove by video calling your friends, then cook in the same place where you play boardgames with your family or recharge your pc. So, the role of the stube as the heart of the house is kept untouched, while connecting the function of a brain to it, in order to create a new intelligence organism that will live within the house together with its inhabitants.
