  abstract  = {Head Mounted Displays (HMD) are increasingly used in various industries. But apart from the industry environment, the potentials of HMDs in a private environment like at home has been rel- atively unexplored so far. What daily tasks can these help with, in the home kitchen for example? The aim of this thesis is to obtain knowledge about the usefulness of such an HMD, the HoloLens, in combination with an application, while following a new recipe. Therefore a prototype applica- tion for the HoloLens got developed which guides a user through the cooking of a sushi burger by using multimedia content. With a mixed method design, consisting of quantitative and qualitative methods, the HoloLens in combination with an application was evaluated by 14 participants. Not only the weight of the device was a problem for users. The test also revealed that the display is darkening the view and participants tend to look below the glasses. An advantage is indeed to reach the next cooking step without the need of using hands and always having in sight what needs to be done next. Positive feedback was given as well for the application. Through voice control the user communicates to a character which will guide through the recipe by videos and text. If in future the technical characteristics of HMD devices will improve, an application in this con- text will be of advantage in order to simplify learning a new recipe. This device, in combination with an application, could help early-middle stage cognitive impaired people and blind people to cook.},
