The challenge of creating a connected kitchen.
To create an experience that people enjoy to use, we focused on designing appliance controls that were faster and easier to use than the ones on the physical devices. By building the connected experience around control, we could more easily introduce users to other features like recipe assistance and monitoring.
We worked quickly to build a series of prototypes that allowed users to simulate the experience of turning an oven on and off, setting temperatures, or selecting the recipe they intended to cook.
