Digital Living will cover consumer electronics such as TVs, MP3 players, white goods and cameras, and will initially be published quarterly, but Emap is keen to increase the frequency to bring it in line with established titles.
This week, Future launches a spin-off of T3, called T3 Home, which is also published quarterly and which covers broadly similar technology.
Emap is pitching the title at a young male demographic between the men's market and specialist technology magazines, with the slogan ‘because life's too short to read the manual'.
It will be published by specialist division Emap Active, which houses Digital Photo and Practical Photography.
John McKenzie, who publishes the division's transport titles, will publish the title with Rob Croxall, general manager of the photography magazines, widening his brief to oversee the publishing strategy.
Emap Active has hired Bruce Black, a former publisher of What Hi-Fi, to edit the magazine.
Digital Living goes on sale on 5 October, priced £3.99.
Emap launches rival to Stuff and T3
Emap is launching a gadget and technology magazine next month to compete with Haymarket's Stuff and Future's T3.
