we combined a refrigerator, dishwasher, sink, compostor, cutting area, herb garden and beverage station all inone compact module. so imagine the consumer walks up to thesink...is able to access fresh food from a refrigerated drawer, can place it in the sink, sensors tell you whether or not there'schemicals or bacteria present, there's an integrated cutting board thatyou can prepare your food, afterwards you slide your cutting board to the side and there's an in sink dishwasher and then when youhave larger loads
you also have a dishwasher below. thefaucet is actually a smart faucet. you are able to touch it and it tells you how hydrated you are, or you're able to dispense filtered ice,water, carbonated water, custom beverages ...all at the touch of a button. we know we're going to have an agingpopulation and more and more of these people want to stay independent and stay at home. we developed a medical device for inhome use where the user will put their hand on asensor, it will take their vital signs. thecool thing about this is that it's
all in one - it will dispense the properamount of medicine for the day. the medicine comes inreplaceable cartridges so the primary caregiver will be able tofill it up as needed. the three big pain points for consumerswhen it comes to laundry: transferring laundry from the washer tothe dryer, folding laundry, and putting them away. consumers wouldload individual items into individual compartments of our laundry machine. the machine thenwatches, dries, and compresses those items and then they're stored in the back ofthe machine. an rfid sensor
in your clothing tells the machine howto wash and dry the clothes properly and how to load them into your virtualcloset. so, when you're ready to get dressed for the day, you can select your outfit from thevirtual closet and then the machine sends the compressed pellet to the reviving part of the machinethat uses steam and optional sense to revive your clothes to wrinkle free so you can wear them for the day. alsoyou can take them with you in a convenient compact form.
in the future, we think one of the bigideas that's gonna happen is the notion of 3d printing that's already availableto the consumer. the idea is that you can print anyobject you want, either edible or non-edible and wethought a great example of an edible project would be a dog bone. something that is very simple in its structure. you can control what ingredients go into your dog bone andalso can emboss the name of your dog into the bone. so what if you don't need your objectsthat you printed out anymore?
what you can do is you can put it intothe grinder which will grind down your unneeded parts into usablepellets and then it will be put into the reconstitution area and what that does isfilter out all the particles that you don't want. after its been filtered outthen i'll be placed into storage, ready to use for your next printing project.
