Smart Kitchen is a project that addresses the need for anyone who needs to eat--which is all of us! Throughout this project, we are exploring what it would be like to know what is in your fridge all the time with little to no effort. Then after knowing the ingredients is in your kitchen, being able take those ingredients and suggest new and healthy recipes to try. To do this we are utilizing image recognition technology to scan food items and bar codes.

Project SmartKitchen plans to explore what it would be like if you knew exactly what was in your fridge in real time, with little to no effort. Even better, we’d love to help you leverage this information and take your available ingredients to suggest new healthy recipes to try. Our vision is to help everyone with the question, “What’s for dinner?”, so you never have to come up blank again.

Project overview

Smart kitchen use case.png

Project SmartKitchen attempts to help people answer the question "What's for dinner?" in such a way that optimizes ingredients on hand, reduces food wasteage, and offers recipes (eventually) tailored to the user's time, skill, dietary requirements, allergies, likes/dislikes, etc.


Lean Start Up Flow

Vision Statement

SmartKitchen aims to answer the question "What's for dinner?"

Ideas

  • Use image recognition to identify the inventory of the kitchen
  • Use barcode to identify and manage the inventory of the kitchen
  • Use RFID to identify and manage the inventory of the kitchen (entire house, garbagecan)
  • Use OCR to identify and manage the inventory of the kitchen
  • Use the inventory of the kitchen to provide recipes
  • Use an Open Source Cookbook to provide recipes from the community and socially engage/gamify the community in the food area

Leap of Faith Assumptions Being Tested

  • We are assuming that we can use image recognition to accurately identify some percentage of the contents of the kitchen
  • We assume that people want recipes that they can make with their existing kitchen inventory

Experiments

  • We believe that if we give a user an experiment device for identifying their inventory that we will be able to recognize 20% of items with our existing training to date.
  • If run a Facebook Ad describing our product, we expect a 2% response rate
  • If we create a video that shows our product vision and advertise it, we expect a 2% response rate.

Experiment Details

  • Details on all experiments can be found here
