Star Trek Home Theater

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the money-to-burn dept.

Critical Facilities writes "Someone thought it would be a good idea to model their home theater after the Enterprise NCC-1701D from Star Trek: The Next Generation. The result is super geeky, but actually rather cool. Named the best theme theater installation at CEDIA 2007, this Palm Beach County, FL home features motion-activated air-lock doors with series sound effects, and a "Red Alert" button on the Crestron TPMC-10 controller to turn all of the LEDs bright red and flashing."

    Does it come with a tricorder or a trek binoculars to get a better look at the screen? sheesh, for that amount of effort you'd think they'd put in something with a decent size screen. I don't care if it IS plasma, when you're 20 feet away it's gotta be BIGGER. A projection set would have worked much better. Just because it costs more doesn't mean it's a better idea.

    Apparently, all you need to be "Named the best theme theater installation at CEDIA 2007" is to be decently skilled with PhotoShop. Does anyone else think the award should be named "best theme theater idea"? Or maybe "best theme theatre PhotoShop" would be even better.

    Hmmm, an award for an idea -- just like the patent office!!
