With the rapid development of augmented reality (AR) technology, its application in educational has become prevalent. Nevertheless, research in the domain of cooking guidance remains relatively limited. This study aims to address the gap by comparing and analysing the three existing AR-based cooking guide device - Magic Leap 1, AREasyCooking, and Pic2Dish, as well as the virtual reality (VR) cooking games. Based on these insights, the study proposes CulinARy, an innovative cooking guide tool that employs AR technology to provide real-time cooking step-by-step instructions, gamified challenges and a multi-platform experience. The objective of CulinARy is to improve the users’ cooking ability and make cooking more accessible and enjoyable.
