Abstract

Nowadays more than a billion people worldwide experience some form of disability pointing out that accessibility is a major issue that should be taken seriously into consideration. Attempting to make people’s daily habits in the kitchen area easier and more comfortable, we designed an innovative smart accessible cupboard that can identify various information about the products that are placed inside it, such as their type, quantity, location and expiration date. The Smart Kitchen Cupboard is a component of the Intelligent Kitchen aiming to support users in that space by indicating where to find a desired item, assisting in a context-sensitive manner during the cooking process and helping the overall inventory organization. Our immediate plans include planning a full-scale user evaluation in order to get useful feedback about the current design decisions so as to further improve the prototype and integrate more features.
