A group of scientists at the Ohio State University have developed a new “bio-integrated gustatory interface” device called “e-Taste,” which enables users to taste food in virtual reality.
The process works when ‘e-Taste’ analyzes food flavor profiles and tries to recreate them using a combination of chemicals, which is then poured through a gel.
There are three different stages that make up e-Taste. The first stage analyzes a food or beverage using a set of sensors to identify common components like glutamate and glucose that contribute to its distinct flavor.
