Description of the Demonstration:
Everyone is familiar with the basket of remote controls for all the different
pieces of electronic equipment in their entertainment system. Getting everything
set up to watch a movie can seem to require a degree in electrical engineering.
In this demonstration the Facade class provides a simplified interface to all
of the "device" classes. A simple command call to Facade::playMovie will handle
the setup and activation of all required parts of the system thus hiding the
complexity of the system from the user.
