“…"Smart VideoCooKing" offered instruction for each cooking step by means of personalised videos [12]. "MimiCook" displayed written instructions with video-projection to offer immediate feedback for the person in the kitchen [40], and "Shadow Cooking" guided users with situated, step-by-step information projected onto the ingredients [41].…”

Assistive technologies can significantly increase older adults' independent living if these technologies are designed to meet their needs and abilities. This study investigates conditions and present possibilities for assistive technology to provide physical and cognitive support to older adults in a specific domestic task, which is cooking a meal at home. The empirical material consists of six video recordings of adults aged 65 and over preparing a meal in their kitchen. The study unpacks the complexity of kitchen tasks, from the physical interactions involved to the temporal and spatial alignment of objects and goals in the kitchen. We focus on a) Physical manipulation, such as chopping, opening packages, and moving objects around the kitchen, b) Organisation and coordination, including switching, synchronising and monitoring cooking tasks, and c) Reorchestration and reorganisation in the form of inserting additional tasks, and rearranging tools and ingredients when adjustments need to be made in the cooking process. The study outlines design principles for operational and organisational interventions to support cooking a meal for independent living. The study concludes with discussing design implications for conversational user interfaces in the kitchen, and the significance of assistive kitchen technologies for ageing in place.

“…RFID tags keep track of the locations of the required items, but this system lacks the visual guidance. Sato et al [16] used a projector and a depth camera to design a Shadow Cooking system to guide users with step-by-step information projected on a counter. A Smart Kitchen [3] that provides ambient assisted living services, a smart environment that increases the autonomy of elderly and disabled people in their daily activities.…”

We present a design and preliminary evaluation of novel visual guidance of a remote assistive system for the elderly to find hidden objects in a kitchen. Our system has two essential functions; 1) to update a list and corresponding location information of objects concealed in a shelf with at all times, and 2) to display images and texts about the objects on the corresponding area of the door of the shelf. We aim to realize assistive visual guidance to elderly for overcoming the deficits of initiation, planning, attention and memory deficits while performing kitchen-based activities of daily living such as finding items for cooking. In this study, we focus on hidden objects because there is an increased possibility for the elderly with cognitive impairments to forget where and what the object is due to the non-visibility. The paper shows the prototype system that uses RFID and projection technology. We conducted a user study with twelve elderly participants to evaluate the usability of the system using the System Usability Scale (SUS). Additionally, we also investigate the acceptability of the system by applying the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). The results demonstrate that the elderly participants found the system useful and easy to use. Finally, we conclude that a remote assistive system can be used to assist elderly to storing and retrieving objects from cabinet and shelves during a kitchen task but need more studies to make the system more efficient and effective.
