This was a short 3 week interaction design project in my masters program to explore the future options of cooking with stoves.
Tools
Miro, Figma, Capcut
Duration
3 weeks
during 1st semester Master
Research
This course was about thinking outside the box, exploring Interaction concepts & developing new ideas in a fast paced way.
Therefore we were specifically asked to not base the concept on any official research but on our own experience.
Concept
Our concept was based on the Question:
„How might we make cooking more intuitive and supportive?“
To address our basic requirements for intuitiveness and support when cooking, we reflected on our own cooking experience. In doing so, we realized that cooking often works best in a team with support that keeps an eye on things, makes suggestions independently and gives you tips to learn. – Like Remy from Ratatouille
Interaction
To make the interaction as simple and intuitive as possible, but also to allow the stove to be operated with dirty hands or from the other side of the kitchen, the concept works via gestures and voice interaction. With visual feedback on a large screen behind the stove.
Prototyping
After designing our concept in Figma and creating animations, we captured everything via screen recording and inserted it into a filmed video of the use case.
At this stage, we also added sound design and music. They are not ideal, but they contribute to the intuitiveness and understanding of the “prototype”.
Please have a look at our mockup video below 😊
Learning
I was myself quite surprised how well we were able to communicate our concept with our video, which even tricked some of our fellow students to think it is a real working prototype.
