Its glass door has been specially treated so it won&#8217;t get hot and its internal heating elements are made of carbon fiber.<\/p>\n<p>But what really sets the Wi-Fi-enabled June apart from other appliances is the software and hardware that power its food recognizing abilities.<\/p>\n<p>Inside the oven is a wide-angle HD camera which, when combined with machine intelligence algorithms and the oven&#8217;s built-in scale, enables June to detect the type of food in the oven and how long it needs to cook. Right now, the company says it &#8220;recognizes a set of common foods,&#8221; like meats and bread, but the system will get more accurate over time and over the air updates will expand its database.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"microcontent\" data-fragment=\"right-now-we-are\" data-description=\"&quot;Right now we are experts in steak, chicken, white fish, salmon, bacon, cookie dough, brownie mix, toast, bagels, and hamburger buns,&quot;\" data-micro=\"1\">&#8220;Right now we are experts in steak, chicken, white fish, salmon, bacon, cookie dough, brownie mix, toast, bagels, and hamburger buns,&#8221;<\/span> June\u2019s CEO and cofounder, Matt Van Horn,told <em>The Verge<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The oven also comes with a companion app that keeps tabs on the progress of your dish and sends alerts when items are done, or close to being done. You can also use the app as a remote control to adjust the oven&#8217;s temperature or turn it off entirely. The app also supports live streaming from the oven&#8217;s camera, so home cooks can monitor the progress of their meal remotely.
