Papa Bear's Pantry is a multimedia project that pitches a cute hot meals-to-go japanese inspired vending machine meant to appeal to user's emotions through appealing cottagecore aesthetics, branding, and design.

The final prototype uses a ProtoPie interface housed in a physical lasercut prototype with a working arduino powered dispensing mechanism. The interface displayed on the iPad acts as the main interaction where it controls the Arduino motor system that helps dispense the items from the prototype. Our main goals were to bring clarity and emotional connection into creating a vending experience that is both functional and memorable for users.
