Japan is testing a prototype for Taste the TV or TTTV. This is a whole different type of interactive television — a tasty kind.
After the user has told the device what they would like to taste, the device plays a video and whips up a concoction to achieve the right flavor balance. The liquid mixture is then sprayed onto the screen.
TTTV is the brainchild of college professor Homei Miyashita from Meiji University, who said the COVID-19 pandemic is creating a demand for many experiences to be enjoyed at home, like trying new foods.
“I am thinking of making a platform where tastes from all over the world can be distributed as ‘taste content,'”They agreed. “It’s the same as watching a movie or listening to a song that you like.”
“I hope people can, in the future, download and enjoy the flavors of the food from the restaurants they fancy, regardless of where they are based in the future.”
Although it’s not exactly a 3-D printer for food but they can quickly satisfy their cravings by simply asking.
