A Japanese teacher creates a screen that you can suck on and taste what is being shown

With virtual reality headsets we can have a more immersive experience in a PC video game, and the interesting thing is that some companies go a step further and sell candles with different scents to improve the experience with virtual reality and stimulate the sense of self. smell. But if you want even more, a new device in Japan could offer a very futuristic experience, as long as you like to lick things.

As reported by Reuters, Japanese professor Homei Miyashita has prepared a lickable display prototype that uses a combination of 10 flavors to simulate different foods. Miyashita says the goal of her device ‘Taste the TV’ It is “making it possible for people to have the experience of eating in a restaurant on the other side of the world, while at home”.

The weirdness of licking a screen aside, there are so many delicacies in video games that we would surely be very curious to try them. Imagine, being able to taste a cinnamon bun, or grapes from Final Fantasy XIV.

Unfortunately, and I am sure, we will not see Taste the TV reach homes, not only because its market niche is incredibly small, but because of the cost, about ¥ 100,000 (about 875 USD).

And although it is available to everyone, we recommend spending that money on a good gaming monitors.
