Scientists develop a device that allows you to taste video games

Imagine sliding in a VR headset and sitting in front of a perfect ice cream sundae. Using your moving supervisors, you can eat a large spoon of this virtual vanilla and can not feel the cold in your mouth, you can taste familiar sweetness thanks to a delicious device in your lower teeth.

Although it seems directly to a sci-fi movie, the international researcher team has developed a new human car interface (HMI) that allows users to taste virtual flavors. The device called the e-taste, the device releases directly, sour, sweet, bitter, sweets and umami chemicals directly to the user’s mouth in response to stimuli. As a learn Today was published in the magazine Science advancesThe e-taste can have various applications from video games to weight management.

The taste is one of the most difficult feelings of machines to simulate virtual and expanded reality according to a statement From the American Union to progress science. However, in the case, the 16th human user, such as those related to the chicken soup, and confirmed that e-tasty complex flavoring compounds and different intensites have increased.

The device uses NACL (salt) for saline flavors; citric acid for sour; glucose for sweet (some kind of sugar); You thought for MGCL2 (bitter salt type); And the chemical compound called Glutamate for Umami is also described as a flavor. E-Dad sends these chemicals in gel format through a tab stretching from a small device to the language of the language.

An electromagnetic pump associated with remote stimuli when researchers describe the “Internet Internet” of the work, manages delivery. According to the study, the device proved to have any potential damage caused by both safe, versatile and adjustable and bite.

“Potential applications are immersive games, online shopping, remote management, sensor testing, physical rehabilitation and others,” researchers, O.Hayo State University engineer Shulin Chen and researchers were explained in researchers.

Consider the convenience of tasting something in a menu before ordering. In freezing stores, you can often do it exactly with steak or pasta, which allows customers to test the samples before starting an end. Even if the study does not specify this special example (and video players, the next time is more excited than to taste blood Deadly Kombat‘s Scorpio punches them in the mouth) The device remotely can be revolutionized for the US uncertainty dishes.
