Spot-Light: Multimodal Projection Mapping on Food

Abstract

Spot-Light is a projection mapping system for foods that enriches dishes by projecting images or sounds on foods. Tastes of foods are constructed not only with simple gustation, but also with appearances and sounds. For better appearances, ordinary cooking methods such as food coloring agents or crunching sounds of pie contribute to modify these food properties. However, it is not possible to purely modify them because all ingredients are inevitable from chemical interruptions into the original food. Our system enhances these properties by visual and sound projection with a RGB camera, a depth camera, a parametric speaker and a projector. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013.
