‘Project Nourished’ is a gastronomical virtual reality experiment by Kokiri Lab, which allows consumers to enjoy food without worrying about the intake of extra calories.
Inspired by a scene from the film Hook, “where Peter Pan learns to use his imagination to see the food on a table that seemed empty at first”, the project recreates the concept by using an Oculus Rift VR headset, built-in sensor utensil, and a Leap Motion sensor that lets participants feast in their preferred dining environment with a lift of a finger.
Low caloric ingredients such as agar, konjac and gum arabic are used to create the “virtual food” that mimic the taste of our everyday food through aromatic diffusion—which would help to curb cravings, reduce obesity, and other related illnesses.
