Through the new kitchen with virtual reality glasses

The nimmersatt company has set out to revolutionise the kitchen standard with its smart, customised and intelligent kitchens. With the virtual kitchen planning software, which utilises tools from the gaming industry, clients can design their kitchen right from the planning phase - via virtual reality glasses.

"We have many years of expertise in kitchen construction, develop successful catering concepts in parallel and are therefore very well connected in our target group. Our planning approach using our specially created software and our vision of Kitchen 4.0 are unique," says Florian Wagner from the Cologne-based start-up company with the interesting name nimmersatt very confidently.

From VR directly into production

Up to now, the procedure in commercial kitchen construction has been for a sales representative to visit the customer - the restaurant, catering and hotel industry - with their product catalogue, take the measurements, coordinate the kitchen appliances and then have the office staff create a technical drawing for approval. This is exactly where they want to start with their virtual kitchen planner software: The room dimensions are taken on site, the flush worktop including the technical appliances is added and the room design is customised - done! The customer can then experience the kitchen directly on site using VR glasses, run through work processes and make any necessary optimisations. Finally, the total price, technical drawings and the customised parts list are available so that the nimmersatt team can theoretically start production on the same day.

Moving VR into new application contexts

The exclusively positive and sometimes surprised reactions from trade visitors and competitors to our presentation of the beta software, including the smart kitchen approach, at the HostMilano trade fair further reinforced their belief that they were on the right track and occupying a long overdue niche, says Wagner. Both the customer and the chef who works in our kitchen at the end of the day finally have the opportunity to test and experience all functions and processes in advance without risk. In other sectors, such as the automotive industry, this is old hat. The best business plans are usually created by moving existing technologies into new application contexts.

However, they are definitely not alone with their idea, as Elektrolux Professional is currently also heavily involved in VR, as we recently reported. reports have.
