PeekBox

What if…we could tackle the issue of managing time between studying and meal times amongst youths by engaging senses?

PeekBox encourages youths to choose and cook their desired nutritional meals through an application before they attend their classes while creating sentimental value for their efforts in cooking.

Enhancement of senses was made through iterative prototypes that experiment with shapes, storage capacity, and functional aspects such as grill marks to impart more flavour while cooking along with the visibility of food.

Wedging a piece of acrylic at an angle entices youths to rock and turn the lunchbox at a certain angle to peep and smell their food.

Youth, Time and Senses

A survey was conducted to discover youths’ eating habits, decision making, thought processes, and desirability. The difference in actual time spent eating (<20 minutes) and desired time spent eating (>20 minutes) confirmed that youths would instead get back to work/lessons as soon as possible due to jam-packed schedules.

As more questions were asked regarding where youths would most likely eat, most of them instinctively chose convenient locations as the most likely options when they were short of time. Unfortunately, most of these locations offer unhealthy meal options..

The problem of instinctively finding convenient food after class can be negated by the preparation of meals before the user attends their classes. This way, we won’t have to worry about the user spending precious time finding food in after classes.
