Meet the Food You Eat

Meet the Food You Eat uses the metaphor of a mechanical kitchen scale to measure a food product’s environmental impact. It looks at the carbon emitted as a result of transporting the food and displays this in terms of how many trees would be required to offset that carbon over one year. The working physical prototype (built with Arduino, RFID and a hacked digital scale) also addresses the future of grocery shopping and product sustainability in a world of networked objects.

Green House CPH

As a collaboration with Intel, this student project explored the role of emerging smart grid technology in the context of social computing and personal energy consumption. Green House CPH is a hypothetical government program that provides rebates on energy bills to residents of apartment buildings who can work together to lower their building’s overall energy use. We communicated this concept through a video scenario in the form of a mock user research study.
