The food show is mouthwatering, but unfortunately the deliciousness cannot be conveyed through the screen. However, recently, a professor at Meiji University in Japan has developed a lickable prototype TV screen called "Taste the TV" (TTTV), which can pass through the blending flavor pot and spray the food flavor on the screen. Sanitary film, lick the screen, you can easily taste the food on the screen.

Yoshiaki Miyashita, a professor at Meiji University in Japan, said that in the era of the raging new crown epidemic, lickable "tasting TV" can increase the way people connect and interact with the outside world. His goal is to allow people to stay at home. The taste of a restaurant at one end.

At first glance, the "Tasting TV" looks like an ordinary device equipped with a touch panel. In fact, there are jars with 10 flavors inside. Just say the name of the food to the TV, and you can adjust the taste of a specific food. High-pressure nozzles spray the specially formulated liquid on the sanitary film, and then deliver it to the flat-screen TV screen for the user to "taste".

In addition to the flavor of the food, this "tasting TV" can also reproduce the taste of various types of alcohol based on the alcohol concentration, so that sommeliers and chefs can teach remotely. In addition to reproducing the taste, users can also share the taste of food with friends remotely through it, which means that they can have dinner with relatives and friends remotely and taste the world's food without stepping out of the house.

Miyashita said he spent a year building the TTTV prototype, which cost about 100,000 yen ($865) to manufacture commercially. At present, the R&D team is also negotiating cooperation with some restaurant operators and hopes that it can be applied to the digital menu of the restaurant in the future, so that customers can taste the taste of each dish through the menu first.
