This fridge knows exactly what it has inside. It's wired so it can send messages to your phone reminding you to get the vinagrette for tonight's mixed salad. This is like a personal food assistant.
Designer Kim Otto took a Siemens refrigerator and replaced the existing flatscreen with a touch screen panel pc and equipped it with a RFID tag reader. As you stuff your fridge, it records each and every item in its database and starts to search the recipe database to suggest what you can prepare for dinner.
