A new app has been designed for Google Glass that promises hands-free cooking and works by voice commands and swipes. KitchMe, developed by Coupons.com, for example, is a free app that appears in the Glass timeline and allows users to search for a new recipe either by naming the dish out loud by name or by ingredients. The app, launched this week, will also search for recipes based on what’s already in the fridge, making it a handy tool for using up leftovers, wilting vegetables and foods nearing their expiration date. Users can swipe through recipe cards and ingredient lists. In addition, can also ask Glass to read the directions out loud for a hands-free cooking experience.
Coupons.com CEO Steven Boal says “Wearable technology is a huge opportunity and where better to focus than in the kitchen where so much of what we do today can be augmented by technology.” Developers are also working on new features like the ability to snap photos of meals and share them with friends, and enhanced voice recognition features for the next generation of KitchMe.
