Abstract

The kitchen is a complex and dangerous multi-user work environment that can benefit from augmented reality techniques to help people cook more safely, easily and efficiently. We present Counter Intelligence, a conventional kitchen augmented with the projection of information onto its objects and surfaces to orient users, coordinate between multiple tasks and increase confidence in the system. Five discrete systems gather information from the kitchen and display information in an intuitive manner with special consideration for directing the user’s attention. This paper presents the design of these systems and results of initial evaluations.
