Abstract

At present, there are still some problems in the traditional cooking teaching mode, such as the boring explanation of theoretical knowledge, the non intuitive guidance of practical operation, and the serious disconnection between knowledge teaching and hands-on operation, which restrict the efficiency and experience of cooking learning. However, with the development of extended reality (XR) technology, the digital transformation of cooking teaching has ushered in a new opportunity. Based on the design concept of game, this paper proposes a new "virtual fusion" cooking experience system to solve the problem of the gap between knowledge transfer and actual operation in traditional cooking teaching. Through the three core modules of spatial perception, virtual real mapping and dynamic feedback, the system transforms abstract cooking knowledge into specific spatial action instructions. With the immersion characteristics of XR technology, the system transforms abstract cooking knowledge such as temperature control, food material processing and seasoning proportion into intuitive and landing spatial action instructions, so that beginners can master cooking skills in interesting interaction. Finally, this paper discusses the technical implementation path of the system and Its Enlightenment for the development of intelligent kitchen in the future.
