Cooking Together at a Distance
Min Zhen Chai, Alessandro Soro, Paul Roe, Margot F. Brereton · 2017
We describe the design, implementation and evaluation of the Performance Apron and Talking Bottle, two novel devices that aim to enhance and share the experience of cooking together at a distance. The devices support the exchange of voice message and cooking sounds through an augmented bottle controlled through a cooking apron embedded with wearable technology. This design responds to the messy, performative and communicative needs while cooking in the kitchen by interweaving cooking and communication.
