Zootopia

Real-time information about local zoo, educational content, fun events and lots more!

In this project, I designed the Zootopia app to enhance visitor experience at Bannerghatta National Park Zoo. The app provides real-time information about the zoo, including educational content on animals, fun events, and more. Users can plan their visit, purchase tickets, view and explore exhibits, donate to conservation efforts, access a zoo map with real-time directions and accessibility information, and obtain tips to prepare for their trip.

“Talk & Cook” voice-based Cooking Interface

“Talk & Cook” – A Nigerian Jollof Rice Assistant!

The “Talk & Cook” app can be downloaded to multiple interactive interfaces, in this case, an interactive refrigerator, and it offers hands-free solution for exploring global recipes. This prototype showcases the preparation of a famous dish eaten across West Africa, Jollof Rice.

Since different countries have their own way of cooking this recipe, this project focuses on the Nigerian Jollof rice method. The goal was to show how a user could interact naturally with the app on a smart refrigerator to make Jollof Rice using only voice commands. The interactive interface provides directions for the user through each cooking step, offers clarification and suggestion options, and includes commands like “Done, next step,” or “set a timer".
