This is a microwave-based interaction experience where you can taste the signature dishes of a city and listen to its stories. Set the city parameters in the tangible microwave, choose the ingredients, and wait for the AI to find the prepared dishes.

The geographical environment and cultural atmosphere of a city influence its food. The cultural identity generated by food also plays a vital role in defining a city. In the project, users understand the relationship between the city and food.
