The name of our app is “Slurp.” It is a noodle recipe + eating company app for the iPad.
In terms of the recipe feature, we decided it would be useful because we assumed single people in their 20-30s wouldn’t be very good at cooking. Noodles are relatively easy dishes to cook, so we thought target users would like to see the recipes.
The other feature of the app, which is the eating company feature, is the twisted side of our concept. We assumed single people would eat alone most of the time. In order to help with the loneliness, we decided to include the option to have a celebrity/movie or TV character show up on the screen to accompany the users while they eat.
In terms of interaction, we imagined using voice command. The part where the user needs to slurp near the microphone is to play with the idea of noodles. Voice command also comes in when the user moves forward or backward through the different stages of the recipes. There are buttons on the screen, but we thought the user wouldn’t really want to touch the screen with their hands while cooking, so we thought the voice command would be useful.
