Voice Activated Kitchen Apps Present More Opportunity for Google Glass

— May 2, 2014 — Lifestyle
A new opportunity for Google Glass could be found within kitchen apps. SousChef, a Google Glass cooking app, offers step by step recipe instructions so you can prepare your favorite meals hands-free. Tablets like iPads are likely to get covered in food smudges if you are using them for recipe reading purposes. Kitchen apps like SousChef eliminate that problem.

Created by a group of students at Harvard Business School, the voice-activated app finds an incredibly convenient use for the wearable Google technology. SousChef is currently free, but with the expected larger than life launch of the Google Glass product, monetization is likely. With curated recipes and pictures of every step, you'll want to download this app sooner rather than later.
