Design Brief
The goal of this project was to design a family of products that facilitates collaboration between humans and Artificial Intelligence (AI) within the domain of the smart home of 2030.
Recuisine
September – December 2020, Eindhoven
Fellow designers: Jorrit van der Heide & Lars de Langen
To explore the possibilities for human-AI collaboration in the household, Recuisine was designed. Recuisine is a system consisting of a display and a cookbook stand that provides households with insight and support for the transition and conservation of a healthy and sustainable family cuisine.
Design Process
The kitchen of 2030
To start this project, a clear picture of what the kitchen of 2030 would look like had to be created. Through three iterations, the design context and desired human-AI interaction were framed. It was found that in 2030, there will be a focus on health and sustainability in the kitchen. This influences the decision making process mostly.
Creativity in the kitchen
The increased focus on health and sustainability brings a need for creativity in the kitchen. Therefore, a design concept was developed to stimulate creativity.
Recuisine
The design concept was further developed, which resulted in the product family Recuisine. It consists of the insight interface, a tryout module and a connected cookbook. By using this system, users are supported in making and implementing dietary changes.
Interactive web-app
To explain the functionality of the system and the AI, an interactive web-app was made. A neural network was made to make this web-app functional.
