TOKYO -- Watching cooking programs on television has been all the rage in recent years, but how do the dishes themselves taste? A Japanese professor has invented a device to give hungry viewers an idea.
Unveiled in October 2021 by Homei Miyashita of Meiji University, Taste the TV uses 10 or so cartridges to create a taste sample that imitates certain foods and can then sprayed onto a film on the screen or onto foods like rice and bread.
