Problems with Kitchen
Storyboard to describe the problems with the kitchen which users face on daily basis
These problems were faced by my mom while she was doing daily chores. Each time she can't decide what to cook or forgot to boil milk on the stove. I found in 2020, 60% of women are having more stress due to housework. This is a pretty common problem which we face daily but never focus on it.
Solution
Using Argument Reality and Voice-based prototyping I found some ideas for the solution to lower stress level women and improve the kitchen. So let's see how is she gonna help us?
-
Putting something on the stove and then forget to turn it off after a particular time.
No worries, your Kitchen assistant will remind you just set a reminder.
-
​What should I cook today?
The kitchen assistant has a list of all your favorite recipes or let's create one based on
the vegetables we have.
-
Decided to cook something or plan to do cleaning today but forgot!
Save it in the to-do list and set a reminder.
-
What vegetables were purchased last week?
No problem! The kitchen assistant knows it.
-
​What Groceries were decided to buy yesterday?
Next time add it to the grocery shopping list​.
-
​Want to make this dish but don't know the recipe.
The kitchen Assistant is here to help!​

Test
As I found these problems while looking at my mom's daily schedule she is used for my app and so after wireframing and during prototyping I constantly test the app with her and her friends and did changes like creating new recipes or finalizing commands for the assistant. She also told me to talk nicely with Kitchen Assistant
Summery
As I am really interested in AR VR I always wanted to build something related to it. Thanks to Patricia's Skillshare class I not only learned how to do UX design for new technology but also found a new method of research. I feel it's exciting to work on a real project which involves new technology Like AR VR, IoT, AI.
In Kitchen Assistant I feel there are a lot more things which can be done with it. In the future, I am thinking of adding the following things to it.
-
Connecting refrigerator, electric stove with kitchen assistant.
-
If milk is boiled or your recipe is cooked it will give a reminder to the user like a microwave.
