section Summary
 
 
Of the ideas, a smart refrigerator seems either existing or a bit too specialized. My guess is that refrigerators that can inventory and restock themselves already exist too. It is certainly do-able now because the items are bar-coded and data regarding servings is online, so it could b guessed fairly well. Home Depot has a self-checkout that knows the weight of every product as you put it in the bag, so a fridge with an all-around barcode scanner that will catch anything removed and get its weight based on the total weight of the entire fridge as the item comes and goes is dead on. Therefore, the trick is to make it scalable and ahead of the curve on features and price.
