Usually, when we watch food shows, we are always hungry enough to want a TV set that can smell.
At present, this kind of Dency has not been invented, but a TV that can lick the taste has been born:
As soon as you stick your tongue on its screen, you can taste the food shown above.
For example, this bottle of chocolate, the subject said after licking it: it does have the taste of milk chocolate, as sweet as chocolate sauce.

WTF？ Is this true?
I believe that you also showed a shocked expression like me...
Can you really lick the taste of the TV?
The TV is called Taste the TV (TTTV) and comes from Meiji University in Japan.
It was featured at the World IoT Security and Data Security Summit WISS 2021 and has a paper.
Well, that sounds like serious research.
So how does it make the audience lick the taste?
In fact, there is no black technology, the secret is in the "big round bowl" on the side of the TV.
When you open it, you can see that it is actually a seasoning room, which contains ten kinds of spice tanks filled with different liquids.
Each liquid represents a taste, with salty, sour, fresh, bitter, astringent, sweet, alcoholic flavors, etc., which also includes a bottle of tasteless pure water.
I'm really curious about how it uses these flavors to concoct chocolate flavors.
When you tell the TV what food you want to try (yes, the TV is interactive and can give it a voice command), it calls it up to you, sprays it on a film, and transmits it to the surface of the screen showing the corresponding food.
At this point, you can stick out your tongue and "slip and slip".
Of course, for hygiene, this film is disposable.
ps. Overall, it's not quite the same as you think.
The inventor of the television, Professor Homei Miyashita of Meiji University in Japan (Google Academics shows its research direction is human-computer interaction and Enterprise Computing), said the goal of the research is to make people taste delicious food on the other side of the world without leaving home.
Its potential features also include distance learning for sommeliers and chefs, tasting games, taste compatibility testing, and more.
And adding different flavors to cookies and pizza, emmm... It has nothing to do with the screen anymore.
As for the cost of this TV, it is about 875 US dollars (5500 yuan).
Netizen: Disgusting
Seeing this, I don't know how you feel, netizens have already complained:
“WTF？！”
"Disgusting, who came up with this idea?"
Some people even talk about the indictment of Japanese culture:
Compared with such a screen licking TV, some people said that they are still looking forward to a smelly child.
Others spotted "Wattle Point" and said it looked a lot like a toilet:
……
Of course, there are also dispassionate views that this invention does sound strange, but we still need someone to do such research to promote the development of technology.
What do you think?
