WIPO "circular economy"
Techniques are disclosed for a circular or sustainable goods and services exchange/marketplace/platform for reducing the environmental footprint of kitchen renovation projects. The platform is used to capture an existing kitchen scene input and leverages AI and computer vision techniques for producing a 3D digital twin file of the kitchen. Subsequently digital assets corresponding to the physical assets of the kitchen are uploaded onto the platform by the homeowner. The platform warehouses these digital assets to facilitate their reuse for a “second life” in a new kitchen or an existing kitchen. With the ability to scale rapidly, the platform creates a network effect that benefits all participants. As more users join the platform, the pool of available resources grows, attracting even more users. This creates a positive-feedback loop for reducing the environmental footprint of the kitchen renovation industry.
