Tasty TV: Japanese Professor Creates Flavourful Screen

What They Say

Reuters reported that a Japanese academic has developed a system to use a transparent rollable film over a display to create a ‘lickable display’. The system uses 10 flavour canisters that spray combinations onto the film. The idea is for those that might want to combine interactive material with flavours – for example training sommeliers and cooks, and tasting games and quizzes.

The aim is to develop a platform where different flavours could be downloaded from around the world, as music is now.
