Time has passed quickly since the first CD to the DVD and after the Blue Ray, ONU’s researches shows that in the year 2050 it is estimated that 74% of the population will be in urban areas, this demonstrates that the search for conditions of better living will be paramount to humans, things like best places to improve their studies, best places to work and get a better social status, among others. Imagine your home in 2050 where the trend will be smaller places, you’ll need a useful and practical products which uses the smallest space as possible and help you in your busy life in a healthy and environmentally friendly, because the world is undergoing major changes and concerns in relations to nature which is now given as a warning in the future will be a personal importance of each individual. With all the changes that will happen and especially the problem to keep a social life, you’ll need more practicality and quality. If you arrived now at your home in 2050, what would you like to eat? Something faster, yeah, because now you have to study or finish some details of your work that you leave to do at home, but what about running away from junk foods and eat grandma's lasagna that just she knows how to cook, or the pie cooked by your mother that you adore. I bet you're mouth-watering now! The concept: Everything around us is made of a specific molecule junction, cars are made of molecules, peoples are made of molecules, computers are made of molecules and MEALS ARE MADE OF MOLECULES. Thinking about this context becomes the a spark: How will be if should be possible to scan the molecules of the lasagna cooked by your grandma or our mother's pie and reproduce a perfect copy of its flavor in our home? Based on the principle that all kind of foods are formed by specific numbers of molecules of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, was developed the concept product called by "Home Sweet Home" that performs the scanning of molecules present in a specific food, reproducing a perfect copy in your plate at home only using existing elements in the air (molecules of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen). You just need to put the product near of the plate, the product will stretch around the plate and on the top, identify the size of the surface through its sensor of location and movement and will make the tracking and positioning of the food molecules, then you just need to place it next to a plate, the product will stretch to the side and on the dish, will trace the dimensions of the plate and create from its body a protective gel cover which starts the process of combining molecules present in that limited space to form the food. Design inspiration: The shape of "Home Sweet Home" follow lines of a typical Brazilian snake called by Sucuri/Anaconda (Eunectes murinus), this reference was taken by the fact that it engage their food before eating it, which is the product proposal which the user will be constantly involved with it to make the life more quick and easy. Ecological aspects: With 74% of world population living in urban areas, supposedly 26% of world population will live in rural areas and therefore this part of the population can’t deliver all the meet that urban population will need and what will be offered can be very expensive. This device can provide for the consumers the food as it really would be when obtained in the rural area from the absorption of basic molecules in the air, thereby reducing the ecological impacts such as the creation of cattle (greenhouse effect), deforestation, overfishing, among others. More than this the “Home Sweet Home” has an automatic recharging power through the ambient light. Other functions: The product has features such as viewing hours, Internet access via hologram with the option of choosing the menu by touch in the air and voice calls in 3D video. Compact for transport the "Home Sweet Home" can be easily carried by the user on his wrist, lengthening the product on your forearm as he likes. This feature helps users who want to take the product for their work so they can lunch them food preference and expose the product as a fashion design accessory.
