The interactive board is used for preparing the ingredients. The user will be instructed to use a certain coloured chopping board for the food group they are preparing. The interactive board detects the colour and lights up the colour of the board. It has built in weighing scales for weighing ingredients. 


The product is intended to support the user as much as possible. Initially users would need supervising to ensure they have the necessary skills to perform tasks safely. The product can help any user live more independently.
