Next Steps

To take this project forward we would need to refine the mechanism that transports the ball so that it works more smoothly and reliably. Further, we would need to include more ice cream flavors in the display to make it closer to a real-world ice-cream store experience. We could also expand the concept of an ambient storefront towards other popular food items like pizza or donuts to involve individuals from all realms of the food-lover community.
Interesting feedback we received during the presentation was that we should think about other ways that this data could be collected and used, as well as finding ways to increase community engagement and making the product more scalable.  These would definitely be important considerations to make for future iterations of the project.
