The device simulates the taste of food on the screen

A team of researchers in Singapore, led by Dr Nimesha Ranasinghe of the National University of Singapore (NUS), says they are experimenting and developing a device capable of reproducing the taste of food. on the computer screen. Basically, this device will change the electrical current, temperature quickly to deceive the tip of the tongue. Thus, when touching our tongue in this device, we will feel the four main sweet, salty, bitter and sour.

In addition, the group is also researching an "electronic lollipop" - which will simulate the sweetness of the real candy. They also tested a technology called TOIP - Taste Over Internet Protocol - which allowed users to send a "taste" to others, and the receiver was only tasked with using the simulator as the one to feel. that.

Obviously this is a very unique and innovative idea of the Singapore team. Although still in the early stages, with this technology, we can easily recognize the dish on the page is exactly as delicious as the picture or not, you can also know that the item is too sweet. Too salty, suitable for us or not.
