Container Display
Screen on container’s lid shows the leftover that is being stored inside, photograph is taken when food is still in it’s best state.
Application for All.
There will be an application designed for users to take nice photographs of their leftovers before storing them. The photo can be digitally enhanced to make the food look more appetising.
Can I still eat it? Through the timer function in the application, user can set how long a food will last and throughout the span of time, the picture will gradually fade out to a darker image. The lid on the container also has a sensor that changes from grey to red colour when it senses bacteria.
What’s going on?
The interface will constantly be displaying the status of the food containers. Red means that the box is undergoing induction heating while blue indicates induction cooling.
Let’s eat!
When user wants to eat the leftover food that is on the rail, he/she can simply select the box in sequence and then proceed to start heating by choosing temperature & time.
