V-COOK, a Mixed Reality (MR) application, is designed as a future work to enhance the cooking and dining experience for single women living alone to improve their well-being based on relevant findings from our design research. This innovative application, integrating MR technology through the device Vision Pro, provides an immersive and interactive platform tailored to single women's unique needs and preferences in their culinary endeavours.

With V-COOK, single women can access various features and functionalities that enable them to choose from a diverse collection of recipes suitable for individual portions. Meanwhile, to handle the sense of loneliness, a virtual 3D character formed on the platform would be accompanied by users through the whole process, offering guidance and fun. And utilizing the function of changing surrounding environment could bring more comfort for users when cooking or eating.
