GZ_winner-banner

We have a winner for the GialloZafferano smart cooking contest! Many of you were waiting for the results with great anticipation and today we are also able to share with you the comments by the company.
Out of 119 interesting proposals submitted by 104 participants, one young talent had an idea that really stood out of the crowd.

Thanks to the GialloZafferano smart cooking contest we have had the possibility to welcome many interesting ideas and projects that have tried to further explore the future of cooking, starting from a user point of view and from his/her own experience, in a very original way and from very different perspectives. – Banzai Team

Indeed, given the level of detail and complexity of the awarded project, GialloZafferano is evaluating the possibility of either launching a second phase of the contest to further develop the winning project or turning the second phase into a new contest in its own right, not related to the previous one. Keep a watch at the contest page.



But now, let’s meet the winner!

Rekon Cam

Among the many interesting projects, we have decided to select Rekon Cam. This device allows to explore new ways of accessing the GialloZafferano recipes, addressing a widely spread need and an equally complex issue to cope with: cooking by a recipe without dirtying your own device.
Besides the project offers an interesting design – simple but distinctive – and a technological solution – innovative and user-friendly – that fully embodies the GialloZafferano identity and that makes the Rekon Cam a device suitable for the great public. – Banzai Team

The term “Rekon Cam” is a combination of two words: Recipe and Connection. The device is a real visual assistant that supports the culinary arts. Rekon Cam is a recipe projector, usable on any kitchen planar surface. The device supports an essential need: avoid using your hands, which are busy, making it difficult to browse a cookbook or swiping on a tablet.

Structure and Features
Rekon Cam has a minimalist design achieved from the stylization of a saffron flower bud. It has a motion sensor to make engaging and sliding the usability of reading. The sensor hollow the user the opportunity to replace with simple movements the use of hands. The idea is to take advantage of the full connectivity – smart technology – to give life to a new device. The sensor is able to record a few essential movements to allow, for example, turning pages, scrolling and navigating the content in the recipe, avoiding direct touch. The device has:
– The WIFI connection,
– The optical drive can read the QR code,
– A single button that allow: power on / off with the long press, QR Code Capture with a short press.
How to use
Very simple technology: after choosing the recipe from common devices such as tablet, smartphone or PC through the app Giallo Zafferano, just bring the QR code to the optical drive, which will allow a quick connection with the recipe and then projecting it.
Comfort in the kitchen
The freedom to manage the spaces and movements in the kitchen is one of the main ingredients for fun in the kitchen. Rekon cam is less intrusive than a help, but more effective than traditional support!

 

Many congrats to the winner and to all the participants.
