A picture of the prototyping sessions. Besides I am trying to find an alternative to the display, using the steam of boiling water is too strange for now. What I learned with all this enchanted reality ideas is, that using technology to astonish people has its place in non-daily-places like museums, galleries of the cinema. That is where and why people want to be confronted with alternative ideas. Not in their kitchen.

One can test it with a salad bowl too.

Why does interactive displays always have to be flat?
