CESUE: A cooking education system in ubiHome environment

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a cooking education system for the ubiHome envirom-nent (CESUE). Generally, web-based cooking education system runs without considering the user's learning state. Therefore, if a user misses the lecture, he/she must find the missed part using a time bar or other ways. With the help of rapidly deploying ubiquitous computing, the proposed CESUE can provide user-oriented multimedia cooking lectures by allowing the user to control each step interactively over the network. The proposed system consists of three key components; (i) vision-based interface, (ii) interaction for contents control, and (iii) visual and sound feedback. According to the scenario-based experiments, CESUE provides a more efficient cooking class than conventional text-based or web-based classes. The proposed system can be used as not only in the education system but also in various media applications.
