What if we see the food scraps we have every day from our meals, as material to regrow and replant? We want to give all organic resources a purpose in the kitchen of the future.
How do we do this? By shifting the perspective of food waste to thrashures with Eve, to realize a convenient circular AI kitchen that helps you in your busy day-to-day life.
Eve is a friendly companion that is a part of your kitchen. It helps you to compost food scraps, regrow plants, and to spice up your routine recipes with smart hacks. Eve is a growing station that drives around in your house to make sure the amount of light and temperature is best to grow the plants inside. Next to that, it drives the compost to the compost bin in the garden and measures this process to be able to give you the perfect compost to reuse for your plants.
AI
Eve is specially programmed to fit in a busy lifestyle, it knows the users' schedule and it is connected to their shopping behavior. The interaction is friendly, lively, and dynamic, which will inspire the user to learn and repurpose food scraps. Furthermore, the interaction is practical, Eve advises you to spice up your usual recipes with leftovers in the fridge, or with vegetables, and herbs from the growing station. Resulting in a motivating way that is convenient to use thrashures!
Interaction
Eve communicates by moving around. It will come to you when it thinks you need it. Eve can see with a little camera and sensors, it can talk to you with her speakers and it can show informative videos about regrowing and composting on its screen. Eve's doors can automatically open and close, to hint the user in the right direction, for example, to dispose of compost correctly.
Process
The concept of a regrowing and composting station grew over the weeks. It started with two separate entities, through multiple weeks of testing. We tested aspects-
- means of interaction- through voice, projects, videos etc.
- levels of autonomy- being guided, instructed, told what to do
- different contexts- hostels, shared homes, student homes, family homes
