  1. PureFoods "YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT" Haoyue Wang, Kerese Wright, Mengyi Miao, Will Smallwood

  2. Problem Motivation • Unsafe foods cause an estimated 6.5 to 81 million illnesses and 9,100 related deaths each year in the United States[1] • Hard for most people to maintain the quality and freshness of their foods 1. Mississippi State University. (2011). Food Safety. http://msucares.com/health/ food_safety/

  3. Problem Description • Reduce toxic food consumed possibility • Keep food freshness/expiration dates updated • Keep a right track on refrigerator's temperature and lighting

  4. Related Work • Most website and mobile apps only support textual information/instructions. • Many of them are focus on food itself and additive, but ignore the environment and method to store the food. • Many of the information are either too professional or too complicated for common people.

  5. Website

  6. Mobile App • Good information but hard for user to remember. • Very professional, however may not be the thing common people want • Passive: with no visualized information and interact function

  7. Our Solution • Provide live refrigerator information • Keep track on all the food user purchased and build inventory list with detailed information for user to interact. • Send warning and reminding when foods are going bad

  8. Tasks Overview The functional prototype followed three basic tasks: Food Storage History Review Warning Summary Food Inventory Maintenance

  9. Lo-fidelity Prototype Our prototyping progressed throughout the project: • Paper Mock Ups • Balsamiq Models • Interactive Website and Mobile Application

  10. Mid-Fidelity User Testing User testing performed on our Balsamiq model helped shape the future of our program • Witty names • Ease of navigation • Labeling of graphics

  11. Interactive Prototyping Our primary interactive prototype was a mobile application. • Android Operating System • Some functionality was dictated by system

  12. (Interactive Prototype Short Video) (Will clicks on this video)

  13. User Testing

  14. User Testing (contd)

  15. Conclusion • Contributions • created database to hold user's refrigerated items • alert users about expired foods, temperature and lighting excess • view current refrigerator's temperature and lighting settings • Future Additions • camera view of refrigerator • recommended recipes for upcoming expired foods • text processing tool (parse items on a receipt)
