By a certain age, any gadgeteer out there probably has the imaginative plans and all the details set up for a dream house of the future. With all the appropriate light solutions in it, with the corresponding electric system, which controls almost every apparatus in the house, with shelves that play music, etc. However, here is a detail most of you left out when dream-designing this house, the faucets.

The faucets you would have to regularly use in order to wash your hands, to rinse your clothes for light stains and all the other usual activities that involve water. Now, the tap you can see in the video below the text is a technologically advanced faucet designed by Jasper Dekker and he calls it the Touchless Interaction Kitchen Tap. Though I see it above all sinks that can usually be found in a house, it is his creation so I will go with the flow.

Speaking of flow, the water running through this faucet will be enabled by simple gestures. For the flow to turn into a multiple stream, shower-like one, instead of the usual single stream, you only have to move the hand near the tap's head.

The gestures control the intensity of the water and if they are performed on the right side of the tap, it will give you cold water, while the left side gestures will control the hot water. A simple slide of the hand parallel to the tap's neck makes the water start running. Repeated slides increase intensity, or you can get the maximum intensity by sliding your hand faster. How cool is that?

The Special Interaction faucet seen on bornrich is only a prototype for now, which had to be made in order to test all of the functions that Jasper Dekkor thought of when designing it. However, it is highly responsive and looks like very much fun to use. It will probably be announced on the designer’s official website. Until then, dream on.
