hi I'm Megan Willerton for cnet and i'm here at GES first build facility in Louisville Kentucky first build is a place where anyone can submit product ideas and work with teams of designers and engineers to take that product from the design stage on through to production first bill just opened its doors today and to kick everything off they shared a few of their prototypes with us one of the prototypes is a smart pitcher it's really just a basic pitcher but they added a bunch of sensors to it and they also added an autofill dispenser inside of a refrigerator so when you put that picture under the dispenser in your refrigerator it will fill water up to a fill line and then automatically stop a second prototype is actually a garbage disposal basically it takes a typical garbage disposal makes it a lot smaller so it can fit under your sink more easily the blades are more powerful but they're dispersed to the outside of the disposal so it's less likely that you'll cut your hand and the design is supposed to be easier to install and not clog as often another prototype is a double oven range but the top oven actually pulls out like a drawer so you don't have to reach inside the cavity of the oven to pull out your food it also has a peak feature basically it just lets you tilt open the door so you can look inside without having to pull the door open the final prototype they showed us today is called the line cook this is a prototype that was developed by the level one hackerspace here in Louisville it is an oven that can read barcodes on food and then Auto set the ovens temperature the time and the cooking mode that it wants to use so those are the prototypes they showed us here today there's no pricing information yet but these will all be available on the first build site in limited quantities and if they really take off they'll make it to mass production in larger GE facilities thanks for watching on Megan Willerton for cnet com you
