WatchYourself – a wrist-worn gadget that scans food straight off the supermarket shelf and projects recipes into the palm of your hand, an innovation to simplify shopping and inspire healthier eating
Today, our eating habits are dominated by the products on the shelf of the supermarkets. Not always the choices are healthy. For making right choices you need to read ingredients from package, educate yourself from internet, consult your health with a medic, have a training overview and have a cookbook for home cooking. This will lead shopping to a whole-day activity. Who can really do this? Therefor I seek to find a solution.
What if all the data could be analyzed instantly, when picking a product from the shelf. A wristwatch can solve this problem, while bringing its conventional values to the future. A future smartwatch with a photo eye can recognize the product your hand is moving towards by a packaging. Get information from large database, analyze your weekly meals and exercise, process it instantly. Red, green or yellow indicator light will give you a simple answer, will it fit to your diet. Simplifying the choosing process will lead more people to healthier meals and popularity will force supermarkets to a better quality of foods.
When shopping for home cooking, pick up a product from the shelf and the smartwatch provides a wide choice of recipes that fit you or your family diet. The recipes can be custom created ones mixed with healthy choices from the web. At this point, smartwatch can use your hand as a larger screen, projecting picture directly to your skin. At that point you will be connected to your family, they receive the list of potential meals and vote for their favorite. Watch face lists the ingredient, based on chosen recipe and information from your home fridge. Led indicator helps you choose the best quality ingredients.
At the point you start cooking, your family will receive a note about the time, when dinner will be served. Projector screen on your skin will display the recipe. This provides comfortable cooking experience – you don´t have to worry about getting screens, smartphones or cookbooks dirty.
