Abstract

In recent years, advanced technology applications such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) have emerged as significant tools that enable chefs to enhance their creativity and skills. This study examines the perspectives of chefs on the use of VR and AR applications. To this end, the qualitative research method of face-to-face interviews was employed. Interviews were conducted with 15 expert restaurant chefs located in Mersin. The data were analyzed and visualized using Microsoft Power BI. The results indicate that while the sector conditions in Mersin are not yet optimal, the positive outlook of chefs towards VR and AR applications highlights the potential of these technologies to increase creativity and efficiency. These technologies allow chefs to prepare innovative and delicious dishes by integrating them with traditional cooking methods, while also having the capacity to improve kitchen operations. In the future, it is expected that chefs will adopt and utilize these technologies more widely.
