Technikfreak Posted December 8, 2009 Report Posted December 8, 2009 Two researchers from Japan’s Keio University have developed a kitchen appliance aimed at the total web geek in you, a YouTube-powered microwave. The so-called Castoven is based on a conventional, unbranded model of “good quality” but sports a 10.4-inch LCD screen in the door panel.They build a set of speakers into the microwave, It’s connected to a Mac (but I suppose this would work with Windows computers as well). The main idea is to display a YouTube video whose length depends on the time you need to heat up what’s inside the Microwave(Castoven). Say, you want to prepare a lunch box that takes 1.30 minutes to be ready. The Microwave (Castoven) would then automatically pull a video from YouTube with that length and display it on the screen until the meal is finished. It is based on a special Adobe AIR app that gets the videos through YouTube’s API. Quote
