The fridge is the natural place for communication in every family. You post notes, list postcards and other messages on the refrigerator door. Screenfridge supports not only post-it notes (for which there is still place) but also video-messaging between family members as well as on-line shopping, TV and radio. Check out our demonstration for information on the features.
Getting started
To introduce you the Screenfridge, we have created this six-step introduction
that we hope will answer most of your questions about this intriguing new
product. More answers are available in our frequently asked questions section,
FAQ.
Internal
communication
Screenfridge is a communication central where family members can communicate
with each other either using e-mail or video-mail. A touch of a button is
all it takes to record a video message and post it to another family member. Instead of using a traditional keyboard, we have installed a
virtual keyboard using the touch-screen on the fridge.
External
communication
In addition to sending video messages to family members, you can also use the
Screenfridge to send and receive e-mail. Family members have their own mailbox
where both e-mail and video
messages are stored.
And yes, you can surf the web too.
Food management
Food management deals with how to store, handle and prepare food. Screenfridge
makes food management easier.
By providing recipes suitable for food
stored in the fridge and tips on how to store food correctly you gain
valuable information how you best
handle your foodstuffs.
News,
radio and home security
Screenfridge is also equipped with a TV and radio receiver. Just imagine
getting rid of that bulky tv-set in the kitchen and
watching the morning news directly on
the fridge instead. You can also
connect surveillance cameras to you
fridge to monitor your back yard or
maybe your newborn.
Digital cook book
Screenfridge also features a powerful cookbook with hundreds of recipes.
