A hands-free recipe coach, built for Meta Ray-Ban Display glassses

Client since 2012

The Platform

Ray-Ban Display glasses embed a transparent display directly in the lens, projecting information into your line of sight without blocking what's in front of you. Think of it as a heads-up display you wear all day. Paired with the Meta Neural Band worn on the wrist, they respond to simple hand gestures — no touchscreen, no voice commands, no reaching for anything. It's a computer you wear, not one you carry.

Cooking HUD Is Built For

Home cooks

Anyone who follows a recipe while actively cooking, managing heat, timing, and technique at once. Especially useful for complex meals with multiple components running simultaneously.

Solution

A recipe coach that moves through the meal with you

A heads-up display that walks you through a recipe in three phases, completely hands-free. No phone to unlock, no tablet to scroll, no cookbook to wrestle with. Just the next step, always in view.

Shop, Prep, Cook — one display, three modes

How Cooking HUD works

The app moves through three stages. Shop surfaces your ingredient list before you start. Prep walks you through chopping, mixing, and measuring. Cook manages multiple timers simultaneously while keeping the next step in view. Comes preloaded with recipes. From the grocery store to the table, you never need to touch a phone, a tablet, or a cookbook.

About L+R Baseplates

An open-source starting point from our team

This is a Baseplate application — one of dozens of open-source foundations built by L+R as part of our alpha partnership with Meta on the Ray-Ban Display platform. Baseplates aren't always finished products. They're minimal, readable, and forkable. Built to show what's possible and give developers a working foundation to learn from and build on.
