About

Morgan Ritchie

Retro Smart is a scale that helps the user complete recipes faster and easier using smart technology.

The user can enter their own recipes through the connecting app or choose from one of our pre-existing recipes.

Retro Smart takes the user through the recipe step by step on one screen and shows an animation of how to complete each step on the other. This helps to advise the user on the best and quickest way to complete the recipe.

For each step that requires adding ingredients the scale highlights how much the user has left to weigh with another animation on the second screen.

This creates a cohesive experience where the user can focus on what is in front of them and not have to keep checking back on their phone or recipe book for what happens next, or how much of each ingredient is required.

The scale is designed using a space age theme. Retro Smart is a combination of retro design and cutting edge technology making it appealing for many users.
