The Interactive Cooking Support System in Mixed Reality Environment

�@Recently, many learning systems, such as e-learning and WBT (Web Based Teaching) systems have been developed. In these systems, users can get educational contents and graphical material in a remote place through the network. However, the learning is always one-sided. That is, all users learn the same contents and cannot convey their states like ``What is he or she doing now?'' to these systems. Therefore, these systems are not necessarily satisfying all the users' demands.
�@In this research, we propose an interactive learning application of cooking in mixed reality (MR) environment. In an MR environment, a system should not only provide the useful knowledge, but also recognize users' state. Furthermore, by making a parallel transition model about cooking, it is possible to control the user's cooking process. Therefore, users can learn details about cooking more flexibly and effectively.
