Abstract

Cookool is a futuristic innovation project that utilizes real-time interactive design and technology to display cooking information seamlessly, aiming to create a cool, friendly, and relaxed cooking experience for everyone to try, learn, and fall in love with. In traditional kitchens, people often face various challenges such as choosing dishes and controlling temperatures. However, in the future, our kitchen will leverage AI technology to precisely recommend dishes based on personal preferences, utilize thermal detection to monitor utensil temperatures, and leverage hologram and AR technology to showcase recipes and cooking processes, making cooking simpler. Yet, technology alone cannot create an inclusive environment. In the complex cooking context, users often make mistakes, resulting in less appetizing dishes and a loss of confidence. Therefore, this design project uses 3D technology to present cooking data and information attractively, aiming to entice users to start cooking. Through interactive experience design, friendly communication is established, ensuring users are consistently motivated and encouraged to love cooking in various situations. Cookool's vision is to break traditional cooking constraints through technological innovation and design, providing users with a more relaxed and enjoyable cooking experience, making cooking both cool and simple!
