O.k this may be far fetched, but just imagine. When the house is at normal temprature it would be one colour. Then if the girl/boyfriend comes round for a quiet night, put the heating on and the wallpaper would change to a colour that would set the right mood.

I have seen LED array projection systems that do what jutta describes (okay, I have read about them). Intended to set a mood or environment, they paint patterns and colors on a wall or projection surface. |

This exciting idea is currently
