culinary language it’s very technical jargon. As comedian Leo Harlem used to say, it turns out that the menu says “Shake sugar and egg heatstroke in a caramel mirror” and then … flan.
It’s an exaggeration, but it’s true that sometimes you start reading the menu and you don’t know half of the dishes what it is. This problem can be solved thanks to the magic of augmented reality.
Almost no one liked the hypermonetized image of the Metaverse that Mark Zuckerberg sold us, but it’s true that the very concept of the metaverse and augmented reality, if applied correctly, has great potential. Good example restaurant of the future with augmented reality which you can see in the introductory video of the news.
This device is called hololampwhat projects a 3D image, without the need for glasses or a mobile phone. The visitor sees on the table menu items, actual size, as a layer of augmented reality.
gesture with one hand You can sort through different dishes until you find what you like. You can even order it right from the gesture interface.
This is an example of how augmented reality can enhance the experienceintuitively.
hololamp made from a projector that projects an image onto a flat surface, using perspective to simulate a 3D image. These objects have been previously photographed from all angles, and converted to digital 3D files using the Unity engine. Thus, we see not the original object, but very realistic three-dimensional graphics.
In addition to the image projector, HoloLamp has motion sensor camera, which defines gestures and hand positions. This way it knows if the user “touches” the icons in the air to change the dish or order it.
At the end of the video we can see a more complicated version where You can customize the ingredients of each dish.
Unfortunately, this idea was hatched for several years and stalled. Web site hololamp it no longer works, and for almost a year nothing has been heard about this invention.
However, we will see such solutions with augmented reality via mobileand even with augmented reality glasses that Meta, Apple or Google are working on.
