When I thought about sounds that I rely on in the kitchen, the first thing came to my mind was my rice cooker. I realize that I rarely look at the screen of my rice cooker and heavily relies on the sound<\/a> of it. In addition, the rice cooker often gives very inaccurate time estimates and sometimes it would take twice the time as it states, which discourages to look at the display even more.<\/p>\n

Here<\/a> is the p5js prototype.<\/p>\n

It does still has the idea of a ‘bar graph’, but I was really trying to imitate how the rice change while during the cooking process. I played around with how the size of rice grows individually, and their arrangement and orientation.<\/p>\n

Finally, I chose a constant number of rice throughout the ‘growing process’. Their x and y are almost done in perfect grids, but I added a little randomness to prevent individual rice from looking like rotating while maintaining the ‘uniform’ distribution.<\/p>\n

I also wanted to show distinct different from the cooking states and done state, and I thought a background color change is more obvious\/powerful than just the pattern change, especially when users are far away from the rice cooker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
