How Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality are upgrading the food and dining scene
The HinduDining at SubliMotion is said to be a mind-blowing multi-sensory experience. At Chennai’s Robot restaurant, robots have replaced waiters, as the droids move around the restaurants speaking to diners and carrying trays of food to respective tables. Monica Narula, who headed food programming at NDTV for several years and the brain behind Dash, says that the idea to create 15-second videos of dishes being served at restaurants came about when, “people expected me to know everything about every dish just because I was into food programming”. That’s when she along with two other colleagues, Gunjan Mehrish and Noopur Tiwari decided to create “trailers of food offered at restaurants.” “These videos take them through the complexities of creating a dish, the flavours and textures one can expect, and also throws in trivia related to the food. Yeppar provides diners a 3D image of the food, ingredients, nutritional value and also what to pair it with to help them arrive at a decision.” Ankush believes that one of the biggest challenges faced by retail these days is not the quality of products, but how to best engage customers.
