A Japanese researcher has created a ‘taste display’ that could change how we interact with technology.
The research has developed a lick-able screen that allows people to taste what they see.
The machine releases five gels, called the ‘Norimaki Synthesize’, which will allow people to taste their screens. Homei Miyashita, a researcher at Meiji University, has published a study on the technology that can combine taste and data through the use of gels that are designed for the different tastes of the tongue such as salty, acidic, bitter, sweet and umami.
The slightly strange footage of the ‘Norimaki Synthesize’ is below:
