A 2050 culinary classroom where students learn about culture, chemistry, and cuisine through AI-driven kitchen pods. Each pod includes a transparent holographic cooking surface that projects global recipes with live, step-by-step AR guidance. Students wear flavor-analysis gloves that detect ingredient quality in real time, while AI assistants suggest substitutions based on dietary needs or environmental impact. The room smells subtly like herbs and spices, and along one wall, glowing vertical gardens grow rare plants and smart mushrooms for culinary experiments. In the center, a domed "Flavor Globe" projects the history, geography, and climate of each dish’s origin. Students can also simulate taste combinations virtually before ever lifting a knife. See more
