The Problem Meal planning entails many different tasks:finding recipes, shopping, coordination.Current applications typically focus on one aspect.Those that combine functionality don't offer much flexibility.
Our Solution Combine the following into one application: • Searching for recipes that fit dietary needs • Creating shopping lists from recipe ingredients • Managing and sharing lists with others • Finding nutritional information and substitution suggestions for items on a list
Overview Explain what our application can do Illustrate the design process Explain results of our testing Demonstrate our current UI and interactive prototype
Tasks Simple: Shop from a listModerate: Find a recipeModerate: Share a listComplex: View detailed product information
Task 1:Shopping From a List • Check off items from a list • Mirrors pen-and-paper list • Our app’s most basic function
Task 2 Finding a Recipe to Fit User's Diet • Use filters, keyword search or both • Add ingredients directly to a list • Other core idea behind our application • Helps users easily find recipes and keep track of the ingredients
Task 3Sharing a List with Others • Create household shopping list • Like list on fridge, now mobile • Helps users avoid duplicate purchases • Connects users, helps them communicate
Task 4Finding Additional Information About Items • Scan barcode or select list item • Can often be difficult to find the information you need about an item (is it gluten-free?) • Users want to save money, and eat healthier
Contextual Inquiry & Task Analysis Results We found that our typical user: • wants to find recipes that fit their diet • writes down their shopping list by hand • has a good idea of what they already have Eliminated pantry/fridge feature during task analysis
Design EvolutionUser Testing Results We found our users want: • A quick way to find information about items • Suggestions for substitutes • Keyword search for recipes
Current UI Design DEMO
Ideas for Future Improvements • Allow searching for recipes using items in one of the user’s lists • Recipe favorites • Commenting and annotating recipes
Summary GroceryList++ helps users be more efficient in their meal planning by: • Combining recipe finding and list making • Allowing users to share lists • Providing users with additional information about items while shopping
