Team Pier47 – Food Culture (FeedForward)
The main concept of this project is “the take-away cultural food experience”. Food, its cultivation, preparation and consumption as well as the connected service, products and emotions are a cultural heritage. A variety of databases capture the importance and the different “flavors” of food but do not map the associated emotions. The project aims at bridging this gap using augmented reality, embedded technologies and other digital means.
Project Duration: 10.10.2019 – 13.10.2019
