Risk Management Platform for Gastronomy Practitioners
About Project
This project aims to develop a Virtual Reality (VR) environment to train gastronomy students in managing common cooking risks, such as cross-contamination, burns, equipment failures, and allergic reactions while also teaching them how to make certain foods by providing step-by-step tutorials. By simulating realistic but safe kitchen scenarios, the module will help students identify and mitigate risks effectively.
Project Demo
VR Kitchen represents a whole new frontier in culinary training and risk management education through immersive virtual reality, supported by state-of-the-art cloud-based intelligent systems. To that end, it allows for placing a user into a virtual, interactive kitchen simulation, complemented by a range of advanced AWS-hosted RAG technologies using speech-to-text that can provide real-time guidance, recipe instructions, and hazard management.
Risk Management
Recognizing and managing the risks cooking encompasses is crucial for aspiring chefs and culinary professionals. The project will focus on creating scenarios that can be integrated into the curriculum for culinary students, emphasizing both safety and the importance of professional standards in risk management.
VR
An interactive 3D virtual kitchen that is fully articulated and simulates real-life situations. Users can chop, stir, plate, and use appliances to build their practical skills while modeling common hazardous events, such as liquid spills, fires, and malfunctioning equipment that allow users to learn to mitigate risks.
RAG
AWS cloud services have also been utilized by RAG for the delivery of answers to the immediate facts any user would request. This enables step-by-step recipe instructions, context-aware safety procedures, and responses tailored for user interactions in order to achieve better learning and hazard responses.
