Rigmera

Since I moved out of my parent's apartment and started making my own meals, I constantly run into the same problem when shopping for groceries. Forgetting one or two items and having to make the choice of either driving all the way back to the store or just going without those items for the time being. I could order them thru a delivery service but they’re usually costly due to delivery fees. Which is especially trivial when an item costs only a few dollars. 

My solution is a refrigerator food tracking device called Rigmera. A device that scans your food periodically to help you keep track of groceries or other items in your fridge. You can modify the scanned items if any mistakes are made, add expiration dates and also send all recorded information to your phone for an automatic grocery list.

I started with a 10 X 10 sketch session for brainstorming and main features. Once I settled on a design I quickly moved to a paper prototype which I tested on both of my roommates. Both understood some of the basic concepts but I need to highlight the useable buttons and make the functionalities seamless. This was the main focus of my physical prototype where I then use Figma and another random object to make my prototype seem more real. Again I tested with my roommates and they had a better understanding but the lack of functionality and missing feature held it back from being a fully realized prototype.
