In recent years, many Japanese companies have gradually changed from manufacturing complete equipment to providing parts, and one of the reasons for this situation is that Japanese people always want to engage in some strange functions and designs, but consumers do not necessarily like it. Recently, Meiji University in Japan launched a strange TV that allows us to taste the taste directly when watching food programs.
The principle is actually not complicated, there is a small seasoning room above the TV, there are ten seasoning cans, and all the flavors that appear on the screen are formulated here. In addition to the usual sweet and sour, bitter and salty, it also provides the taste of alcohol. With these seasonings, the machine can concoct a variety of flavors, including chocolate, pizza, biscuits, etc.
The TV can be controlled by voice, and what food the user wants to taste, it can be sprayed on the off-screen film. The TV has a distance learning feature that constantly enriches the tastes. It should be noted that for safety and hygiene, the film outside the TV is disposable.

The tv was invented by Professor Homei Miyashita of Meiji University, who said that the purpose of studying the TV was to let people taste the world's cuisine without leaving home. The organization has announced the manufacturing cost of the TV, about 875 US dollars (about 5600 yuan), if it is really put on sale, it needs to consider the cost of storage, transportation, as well as product development and factory construction, the price is estimated to be more than 10,000 yuan.
From the designer's thinking and function, this TV is indeed a bit interesting, but the need for users to often change the seasoning, the outer film, but also to lick the screen, always feel strange. For this invention in Japan, most of the netizens at home and abroad look at it with a ridiculous attitude, and many netizens said that they had a number of bold ideas and wanted to taste something that they usually did not dare to try.
Professor Homei Miyashita's idea is good, but considering that people who can afford this kind of TV have enough money to eat various foods and have no money to taste local delicacies, it is estimated that they will not be willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy this kind of TV, just to taste the taste in the air, not to mention that this TV also needs to change the outer film and spices frequently, which is troublesome and expensive.
Xiao Lei believes that like other strange inventions in Japan, this TV will most likely not be mass-produced, and even if it is mass-produced, it is difficult to sell.
