It is not always easy to know what food to order at restaurants. But a new company in New York is hoping to help. The company offers menu items in augmented reality. The technology places computer-generated images into the user's view of the real world. At Vino Levantino wine bar in New York City, the desserts are tasty but many visitors may have never heard of them. “We have a few desserts that are not usual ... or people (are) not familiar with them. Like we have the kadaif, I mean, not everyone knows what’s kadaif.” Instead of explaining the traditional Middle Eastern sweet to restaurant visitors, owner Haim Amit shows them. The Kabaq augmented reality application displays models of the desserts in 3-D on an iPad. Customers at each table use an iPad to explore the desserts.
