“Homenu”: An Interactive Projection Cooking Assistant

Abstract

In recent years, people are increasingly concerned about the safety and health of their diet, which leads to more people preferring to cook for themselves. However, young people do not have complete cooking skills because of poor experience. This paper focuses on their cooking problems and applies user research approach to concluding the pain points of cooking behavior for this cohort of young-adult users. The purpose is to provide users with easy, intuitive, and interesting cooking instructions. Based on the interactive projection technology, we developed a cooking interactive projection system named “Homenu”, which has a lightweight and natural interaction.
