Scientists have introduced e-Taste, a device that can recreate flavors of food and drink for remote sharing, potentially transforming virtual and augmented reality. The system has applications in areas such as immersive gaming, online shopping, and biomedical research. However, it currently struggles with reproducing certain taste sensations, particularly spiciness and fattiness. The device features an electronic tongue that analyzes taste chemicals, which are then delivered to users. The researchers note that significant work is still required to improve the reliability and versatility of the technology.
The e-Taste device allows remote sharing of food and drink flavors, enhancing virtual and augmented reality systems, but currently fails to replicate spiciness.
Despite advancements, encoding tastes electronically presents challenges as traditional methods can't reliably reproduce sensations like spiciness; ongoing development is necessary.
