INTERACT 2005: Hot Ideas for Interfaces in the Kitchen
New UI concepts for the kitchen ...
"A fire projected onto a heating oven? A blizzard raging every time the freezer is open? A blue light for the moment that the cold tap runs cold? Leonardo Amerigo Bonanni of the MIT Media Lab was presenting what he called "Cooking with the Elements" at INTERACT2005 in Rome.
Perhaps the single most inspiring application of ambient information this year, Bonnani's research looks at what happens if you represent the behaviour of the appliances in the kitchen in a visually meaningful way using augmented reality.
He ran through a history of, on the one hand, ambiguous ambient information design and, on the other, the addition of overly prescriptive visuals into kitchens (see the link to his slides below). He explained that limited elbow room and too much information can make following virtual cooking instructions projected into real space impractical and people were found better to manage with a paper recipe card. Then he showed how combining ambience and augmented reality could produce useful peripheral information to kitchen users." continued ... (Via Usability News)
