Toward the Implementation of a Cooking Support System Complementing Nonexistent Objects with Virtual Objects

Cooking requires the usage of various ingredients and cooking utensils. However, if we lack some of them due to insufficient preparation, we cannot cook as expected. In this paper, we propose a cooking support system that complements nonexistent objects with virtual objects. We developed a prototype for cutting apples to evaluate the differences between using the real object and the virtual one. The results showed that the cutting technique equally enhanced both the cases of using a real knife and a virtual knife.
