TTTV2 (Transform the Taste and Visual Appearance):Tele-eat virtually with a seasoning home appliance that changes the taste and appearance of food or beverages

Abstract

We prototyped a seasoning appliance that applies a “taste display” technology that employs a taste sensor to reproduce flavors via the spraying and subsequent mixing of colored, flavored liquids to create a printed image on the surface of another food. For example, when toasted bread is used as the medium, the appliance changes its appearance and taste into other food items, such as pizza or chocolate brownie, and the user can then virtually eat that food.
