Future Considerations

The next phase of our cookbook would need to explore more reliable and scalable methods of sensing the page the user opens to. We may be able to continue with our current model, using magnets and resistors, but they'd need to be thinner and more reliable. Higher-end color sensors may also be a solution to this challenge.

We would also need to consider the need for dynamic content. At present, the book is more or less static – each page is hard coded to correspond with a specific recipe event. This is OK for a one-time creation, but it's not ideal if family members want to continue adding or changing recipes. If we want to design for this scenario, we may need to sacrifice the cookbook pages for a screen.
