Smart Toaster Ovens

Appliance Brand June Creates an Oven that Guesses the Food Placed In It

— March 29, 2016 — Art & Design
The smart toaster oven is a step closer to the replicator featured in the Star Trek franchise. Its main feature is that it guesses what food has been placed in it in order to cook it for the right amount of time at the right temperature. That's pretty impressive considering that most people just stick items inside and nuke them all at a general time and temperature.

Created by June, a modern appliance company based in San Francisco, the smart toaster oven is able to do this thanks to a built-in camera that also sends your device a live stream video. This ensures nothings burns or boils over. If you're particularly proud of your creation, people can share the photos of the footage on social media.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Toaster Ovens - The trend towards smart appliances that use technology to analyze food and ensure the perfect cook time and temperature presents opportunities for appliance manufacturers to create their own versions.
2. Built-in Cameras in Appliances - The trend towards integration of built-in cameras in appliances presents opportunities for appliance manufacturers to create personalized and efficient kitchen experiences.
3. Connected Kitchen Appliances - The trend towards connected kitchen appliances, which provide users with real-time updates on the cooking process through their mobile devices, presents opportunities for appliance manufacturers to revolutionize kitchen appliances.
Industry Implications
1. Appliance Manufacturing - Appliance manufacturers are presented with the opportunity to revolutionize kitchen appliances with technology like built-in cameras and internet connectivity.
2. Kitchen Technology - The development of smart toaster ovens and other kitchen appliances with built-in cameras and internet connectivity presents opportunities for technology companies to enter the kitchen industry and innovate.
3. Smart Home Technology - As more kitchen appliances become connected and include features such as built-in cameras, they present opportunities for smart home technology companies to expand into the kitchen market.
