We are developing a cooking navigation system, which helps even a novice user to cook several recipes in parallel without failure, while improving an advanced user's skill further. To realize this, the system optimizes the cooking procedure considering the following restrictions: (1) Duration of cooking, (2) Accuracy of cooking, and (3) Learning effect, by providing appropriate instructions to user's at the right timing, making full use of multimedia information. The users should be able to cook perfectly and comfortably just by following the text, video and audio provided by the system. According to the result of a preliminary experiment, all users from novice to experienced cooks could finish two dishes in parallel while enjoyeing the cooking very much. The result of a questionnaire shows the effectiveness of the multimedia navigation that we propose.
