Andersen Windows releases Project Odyssey, which promises:
Through Project Odyssey, Andersen discovered that homes of tomorrow may resemble homes of the past in many ways. New technologies that are rapidly becoming a part of everyday life might be incorporated into window design — allowing homeowners to free themselves of much of the clutter and complexity filling the home today and once again rely upon the window as the interface for light, air, information and security.
A few of the innovative concepts Andersen has explored through Project Odyssey include an “invisible” insect screen, a micro-ventilation window, and a number of multimedia windows – all of which the company plans to demonstrate in its exhibit (booth #5065) at the 2003 International Builders’ Show in Las Vegas.
