A co-Design approach to develop a smart cooking appliance. Applying a Domain Specific Language for a community supported appliance
share
Our environment, whether at work, in public spaces, or at home, is becoming more connected, and increasingly responsive. Meal preparation even when it involves simply heating ready-made food can be perceived as a complex process for people with disabilities.
