Great idea of having the app actually know what you like instead of just putting different foods together. The thumbs up/down idea seems is Pandora-esque….would be interesting to see what to app would suggest after it learns from you.

It’s good that you have a quote from a potential user of the app. It gives the ideas validity.

photo at top could be more integrated into slide content and form.

perhaps you could connect points to places on your sketches.

• gave a pretty good idea of what happens with the application and you can really tell this is something that was well thought out.

• nice that you’re incorporating augmented reality within the app, it’s good that you’re taking advantage of other sensors that go along with the iPhone or iPod Touch

• What specific feedback will they get once they use the augmented reality to see what they have in their pantry, the recipes that can be made, what ingredients they would need to buy in order to make a specific recipe, prep and cook time for some things, difficulty level, etc. I’m guessing those will be things that will be fleshed out through designing. But sounds good!

-I like how you introduced all the topics you will be talking about and the way they were categorized
-good job on showing your process, maybe you could have shortened the length of some bullet points.
-It could have been useful if you elaborated a bit more on the purpose and goal of the service- what will the user ultimately get from such an app, and why would they want to use this app over others? what is unique about it?

STRENGTH///
-service objectives are clear
-app. can read into their interests/ has a bit of attitude!!
-can read ingredients (healthy? nutritious? high cholesterol?)
SUGGESTIONS\\\
-could the app. vocally tell the person what to do next? for safety.
-holding the iphone a lot seems dangerous, cumbersome if you are trying to stir and chop for a recipe.
-how are the less experienced levels of cooks dealing with the arena of interaction

+ good direction in presentation…

you found a need for this application when you talked to jerma and emully but can you find other places where this might be usseful, or maybe more specifically other demographics? people who are less inclined to be mobile device users who could use a device for this?

cool.

I like the idea that you can choose the recipes based on what mood you’re in. I like the idea of having this on a mobile device, because I don’t like risking my laptop in the kitchen.

Would be nice for users to know the difficulty of recipes that come up with the ingredients they have. With that rating it would be good to see how many unfamiliar terms there might be within the recipe. (i.e: includes- browning, searing, grating, etc.)

And if there are items that the user does not have what would be the best brand/type to use for this recipe if the cook is unfamiliar with certain ingredients (what to look for at the grocery store)

How the user would use this app while shopping and didn’t care what ingredients were in it?

You took a good direction with identifying a remark made by the user. Now you can have something specific you can design, go for it. I would have liked to see a process map that I could read closer, maybe one refined for the presentation (a moment).

-Would the cord eventually be cut, and you would be on your own to think of what to make with what you have? Almost seems like its something people could become dependent on.

+ Good images to help me get an idea of the steps, feels like it could be useful to many different types of people, I like the way you can be connected with others who have tried things and experimented.. so when asking questions it’s ok if you don’t know how to do something.

- I would like to see more of your research.. where are you getting recipes, how are you connecting these people, what about the people who can barely boil water for pasta? are there levels?

Strengths:
-nice presentation! lookin’ good, sequence logically follows
-I think I could find a lot of use for this app, myself.

Weaknesses:
-I’m still a bit skeptical that this won’t become something that’s referenced all the time, instead of a learning opportunity that’s eventually left behind. Learning to cut an artichoke, etc is moving that direction, but how can that be pushed further?
-How can we move beyond the obvious noodles+pasta sauce+cheese type meals? Can it teach how to combine spices for a more desirable flavor? “Oregano goes well on pasta, or mixes with savory for meats”…. etc.

Would this be linked to another “grocery shopping app”? Perhaps this app already exists and it would be incorporated into your final design.

Your hand drawn elements are effective and it will be nice to see them gain digital motion in the coming weeks.

I feel like I could and would use this app… I want it to be marketed (branded) to me though to convince me to buy it. Is this part of your final plan? (That might be more of a question for Amber)
