RAW THE WORK Food waste usually relates to uncertainty around whether it is still edible or not. IKEA HÅLLBAR is a food container that uses Innoscentia technology—a smart sensor developed to address bacterial production. The bacterial growth is measured by the pressure within the container, and an indicator changes color (green - amber - red) to show how much time is left before the food spoils. An app, connected to the container, allows you to track your foods state in real time and notifies the consumer what food items they should eat so that nothing goes to waste. 98 TITLE: IKEA HÅLLBAR BRAND: IKEA TEAM: FILIP MYRINGER, AMELIE FARMER, OLGA LILLIENAU, SOFIA BLEIWEISS, AND EBBA VON ZWEIGBERGK SCHOOL: BERGHS SCHOOL OF COMMUNICATION, SWEDEN Amazon Emma is an AI voice interface that lives in the Amazon Echo.
