Conceived by Fabian Kreuzer and Markus Lorenz Schilling, In My Fridge basically allows people to view the contents of their fridge without opening it while also getting inspiration for what to eat at that moment or in the near future via its digital cookbook. Incredibly efficient and hi-tech, In My Fridge will surely inspire other designers to conceive their own predictions concerning kitchen appliances.
