New technology the world will try it soon. According to ABC
News, researchers at the National University of Singapore are working on
creating a "digital lollipop,”. It’s a digital taste "Instead of just
looking at a cake on your screen, you can taste it.” This new digital simulator
can reproduce the four main taste components—salt, sweet, sour and bitter—via
the use of electrodes.
The method involves tongue interface, control system, and
taste recording device. The team presented their work last month at an ACM
conference in Barcelona. The taste simulator can project salty, sweet, bitter,
and sour tastes though electrical current. The currents, as well as some slight
changes in temperature, are aimed at stimulating the tongue so it tastes
different flavors.
Dr. Nimesha Ranasinghe the lead researcher says:
"Simulating food is one of the future directions of this technology,"
the research will not stop here. Ranasinghe also says it could be used to help
provide an alternative to real food or enhance taste. Also they are working on
paring down the device into a handheld or true (calorie-free) lollipop shape.
