Food intervention needed to be embedded within a more natural and accessible medium.
Through interviews and responses from the stand, I discovered that people become more conscious of the properties of the food
when receiving relevant information during the act of eating. However, while the generative lighting experience provided an engaging visual representation, it was ultimately a disposable feature that did not seamlessly integrate into daily life. If the goal was to reinforce behavioral change or incorporate educational elements into everyday routines, the intervention needed tobe embedded within a more natural and accessible medium.
Additionally, the findings revealed that people are generally more concerned with how food impacts their bodies—such as nutritional value and calorie intake—rather than broader environmental factors like carbon footprint. In many cases, food choices were driven by immediate emotional states, or sometimes long-term health, but neither sustainability considerations. This insight highlighted the need to design a solution that aligns with personal motivations and habits rather than relying solely on abstract global concerns.
