Designer Bruno Oro has come up a futuristic plan for a food replicator he calls 'Home Sweet Home.' It would transmit the building blocks that comprise food by copying them from the original dish to a plate in your kitchen. It’s not a transporter, but it’s a little like a pantograph for food because it copies and duplicates.
The food replicator is placed above the food to be copied. It then scans and identifies all of the food components, molecule by molecule. A receiver in another location generates the same combination of molecules to replicate the source meal.
Why This Trend Is Growing
- Food Replication
- Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating advanced food replicators that can transmit, copy, and duplicate the building blocks of food.
- Advanced Scanning Technology
- Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing high-resolution scanning technology capable of identifying food components molecule by molecule.
- Remote Food Generation
- Opportunity for disruptive innovation in designing remote food generation systems that can replicate a source meal in another location.
Industries Being Reshaped
- Kitchen Appliance
- Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the kitchen appliance industry to create futuristic appliances capable of food replication and advanced scanning technology.
- Food Technology
- Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the food technology industry to develop advanced methods for transmitting and duplicating the building blocks of food.
- Transportation
