From content-coupled fitness equipment to next-gen interfaces, how will we entertain ourselves tomorrow? As part of the Gizmodo Home of the Future, join us for an evening exploring the way we'll play, co-hosted by our friends at Kotaku.

6 to 6:30pm:Rahul Mangharam and Orkan Telhan from the University of Pennsylvania's brand new Experience Design & Technology Lab, or xLab, will stop by Gizmodo's Home of the Future to present their bleeding-edge concepts and design prototypes that will redefine the technology of home entertainment in the years to come. Taking us over the horizon to see how all the senses will be engaged, xLab's work explores 4D experiences in everything from content-coupled fitness equipment to media-responsive children's toys.
