Barra Chad Ford has really liked the movie “Iron Man” as he created his own version of Jarvis. He used a 4-year-old mini-Mac, and in conjunction with almost everything in her home from lighting to the house of his George Foreman grill.

In “Iron Man” Tony Stark was able to interact with walls Jarvis with his voice, desktop, or control over the mesh. Barrasford Jarvis with his control a remote control with a wireless microphone and built-in Mac speech recognition software.

Chad Ford Barra Jarvis started the project about a year ago and it cost him less than $ 700 in electronics. It hopes to commercialize Jarvis, but I guess the Marvel comics he wants to change the name. I suspect that what is important, that they can make a house a “Smart Home”.
