First-person cooking: a dual-perspective interactive kitchen counter

Hobby chefs have various ways to learn cooking—paper recipes or cooking shows, for example. However, information in paper recipes may require prior experience to be understood and a television show cannot adapt to a viewer’s individual speed. Based on our findings on cooking habits, we are developing PersonalChef to unravel the complexity of recipes in order to increase users’ confidence and fun when preparing an unknown recipe. PersonalChef is a multidisplay, dual-perspective, interactive kitchen counter to support users in-situ while cooking and to teach them about food preparation. In addition to an interactive “personal chef” on a screen behind the stove, the user can retrieve as much or as little information as needed/wanted using a display embedded in the kitchen counter.
