Kitchen Cosmo II
Project Overview
Building upon the first Kitchen Cosmo prototype, this thesis focused on refining the experience through iterative design, user feedback, and technical development. Following a user study, the project evolved into a more polished Large Language Object by addressing both the physical interaction and the underlying AI system.
The redesign centered on three key areas: updating the interface with an integrated display and more intuitive interactions, refining the AI prompting through extensive recipe testing and calibration, and optimizing the electronics with custom circuit boards to improve reliability, simplify assembly, and create a more cohesive user experience.
