An idea for the long-term future: I've often felt like cooking would be a perfect use case for very simple augmented reality. Often times my hands are messy while cooking, making it hard to deal with a book or smartphone. Also, recipes are often very time-sensitive. If I could see the ingredients/steps quickly, that'd be terrific. Better yet, it'd be nice to see a demo of what I am making, for things that are difficult to describe in words (e.g. whipping egg whites - what does a "stiff peak" mean?). Obviously the hardware would be an issue, given that you're often standing over heat, steam, oil, etc. But its still a dream I have.

Doing it from an app like this is just the first step. New products need a wedge. I've heard from the grapevine that this application is one of the huge efforts in Facebook's metaverse effort. Let's see if we can do it better...
