Radical Kitchen
Radical Kitchen is a collaborative cooking system that helps people create meals together even when they're apart. It is a collection of augmented kitchen tools, surfaces, and computational representation of meals. Cooking is a social, shared, and sensory experience. The best meals bring friends together and engage all of our senses, from the sizzling of sautéing onions to the texture of toasted bread. Our tool allows people to cook together in a remote, synchronous, collaborative environment by mirroring the social, shared, and sensory nature of the cooking experience. It is particularly suited for collaborations that involve multiple parallel processes that work in isolation but also intersect at various times throughout the collaboration, most notably in assembling the meal.
