Hands-Free Cooking Apps

The Handy Cooking App by Flora Eliminates Messes and Buttery Fingers

— January 15, 2014 — Lifestyle
Kitchen enthusiasts can now rejoice at the possibility of a hands free app that facilitates cooking, completely controlled through gestures with the Handy cooking app developed by Flora. It offers a clean interface that uses webcams and gesture-controlled technology to eradicate messes on electronic devices.

The hands-free recipe player allows users and cooks alike to navigate through recipes, simply by using the swipe gesture of a hand. To start, you are invited to paste a YouTube URL into the box and wave for activation.

While the left to right hand movement plays the video, the right to left gesture pauses it. You can even save your previously browsed or favorite cooking tutorials to create your own customized cookbook.
