Mr. Sallan has a future vi- sion for Futuristic, where com- puters play an even greater role to carve out a larger and more specialized market niche. He says when someone is building a new home or re- modeling a kitchen, the hard- est part is to visualize what the final job will look like. Again, this is where technology can lend a helping hand. "If you can sit someone in a theater setting or in front of a comput- er and they can physically walk through that kitchen and open up doors ...via virtual re- ality, you've now taken away that fear factor." Futuristic is also looking at the integrated home of the fu- ture. Its new home construc- tion subsidiary is working on developing so called computer- run "smart houses." "People in our industry are looking at today. I don't want to survive just for today. We've already done the investment, the research and development. Now, we can grow from a sales standpoint." ❑ THE BEST OF THE BEST!
