Touchscreen to tastescreen: ‘Lickable’ TV simulates food flavours   /  ET  /  24 Dec 2021

 

Extract :

A Japanese professor has developed a prototype lickable TV screen that can imitate food flavours, another step towards creating a multi-sensory viewing experience

 

In Covid 19 era, this kind of technology can enhance the way people connect and interact with the outside world, said Meiji University professor Homei Miyashita

“ The goal is to make it possible for people to have the experience of something like eating at a restaurant on the other side of the world, even while staying at home “ , he said

 

Miyashita has also been in talks with companies about using his spray technology for applications like a device that can apply a pizza or chocolate taste to a slice of toasted bread.

 

He also hopes to make a platform where tastes from around the world can be downloaded and enjoyed by users    

 

My Take :

If you can imagine some technology-related development, it will happen, sooner or later

What I envisaged below some 32 years ago, just materialized.   See extract below

The following developments will revolutionise the tele-communications:

 

* Very powerful supercomputers

* Artificial intelligence/Expert systems

* Miniaturisation

* Optical computing

* Large scale use of optical fibre cables

 

Within the next 10 years, there will be Generation/Storage/Retrieval/Manipulation/ Transmission of

- Voice

- Data

- Text

- Image

              - thru a single instrument.

 

Having covered the "Senses" of EYES and EARS within the next 25 years, the 3rd generation revolution will comprise the long distance transmissions of the feelings generated by the senses of:

 

- Taste

- Smell

- Touch

With arrival of Virtual Reality / Augmented Reality, day is not far when, sitting in your sofa, you can smell / taste that pizza , from across the World

 

But Japanese firm FutureLeap says : this is nothing !

 

It claims it has just the thing for the in-the-mood couch potatoes with a Virtual Reality System so realistic you’d swear that cyber date just whispered sweet nothings in your ear !
