CES 2020: Samsung Family Hub smart ref tips you off when you're running out of ingredients

Samsung first introduced the Family Hub smart fridge at the Consumer Electronics Show in 2016. Since then, the company has been releasing iterations that improve its capabilities. The latest update introduces some software enhancements to improve the artificial intelligence capabilities of the cameras inside the refrigerator.

The cameras inside the Family Hub smart fridge can already show you what's inside. With the AI update, the Family Hub can supposedly offer recommendations as well as help you identify what ingredients you're low on. We aren't sure though how it'll do that with ingredients kept in Tupperware.

Samsung wants to set you up on a date using its ref

Is Tinder, Bumble, or your dating app of choice just not doing it for you anymore? Have you considered "Refrigerdating?" Yes, that is the app's name. And yes, it is what you think it is. Samsung's way to promote its Family Hub Refrigerator is by aiming for your heart through your bellies (good or bad choices be damned). The ref has an ingredient-tracking camera that can double check if you run out of certain items, and you can use that camera to take photos of your ref's content. You can access these photos and the web-based app through its built-in touchscreen.  From there you can start swiping left and right on potential dates. You don't need to have this Samsung ref to use the app. You can upload a photo of your own refrigerator, and watch the sparks fly. Or at least, that's the hope. Happy swiping!
