Drawers that quickly and unobtrusively open when your hand draws near. Shelves extend outward to you and light up. Digital cluster panels keep you informed of temperatures and timers in large digits visible from anywhere in the kitchen.

Water you can turn on and off with a nod and set to the exact temperature with a sliding hand gesture. A semi-invisible plastic glove with a sensor on the first three fingers and thumb is read by Nintendo Wii-motes setup in all corners of the room, each with a ring of infrared lights around them. The tips of the gloves reflect their position.

The cabinets are a series of tubes connected end on end in a circular fashion like a narrow donut extending into the roof. On the left of the ring, a door opens to allow access. Having just said "Dinner 3 Alpha Execute" the donut's insides begin to turn and stop the correct first transparent cabinet which rotates open. You reach in and grab the 3 unlocked sets of silverware indicated by the green lights. After your hands are free and all the silveware has been removed, the door rotates shut. The donut turns one cabinet down and opens again unlocking 3 glass cups and 3 glass plates.

You were glad that you no longer had to load the plate dimension sizes by hand and were instead updated automatically over the internet by the maker of the that model dish set. It was so much easier to just flash the barcode scanner of the box it came in.

You approach the main screen and order skim milk instead of 2% during the next months delivery. You hear the donut rotating a red-lighted cabinet to it's right side where snaking arms blast this mornings dishes clean using those old hand coded directions. You wonder who returned their plate so late.

A bright red ring of embedded LEDs indicate the temperature of the surface of the stove/workspace. You pull at the bread sitting on the counter and the back wall lets go if it with a small pop. When your done, you feed the bags open end into place and the near silent vacuum drains the air out. The stationary food pantries do the same. They light up when your hand gets near and you can see though the transparent glass. It also plays music.
