The professor who works with a team of 30 students has developed multiple flavour related products including a fork that is supposed to help make the food taste better. He has also offered technology firms to use his spraying technique and develop products that can make toasted bread taste like a slice of pizza or chocolate. Apart from these, Homei Miyashita plans to develop a platform where users can download flavours and tastes of food from across the globe, just like they download music. As for the TV, a student of the development team showcased to the reporters how the lickable TV will work. She first told the television that she wanted to taste sweet chocolate. After a few tries, the television responded and an automated voice repeated the order and the flavour was sprayed onto a plastic sheet. The student tasted it and claimed that it tasted something like milk chocolate and had a sweet taste of the chocolate sauce. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Applications of lickable TV" comment="subhead" text="Applications of lickable TV">Applications of lickable TV</cmsannotation> While this is just the prototype, this technology when commercially available can provide a unique sensory experience to its users. It can be used by culinary shows to teach students from across the world remotely. Shows based on food and tasting games can use this technology to give users a sense of what the actual food may taste like. According to the professor, a commercial version of the TV would be sold for $875 (approx. ₹65,500), but there is no confirmation on when this technology would be made available to users across the world including India.

A Japanese professor has developed a prototype of a lickable TV screen, that allows for the flavor profiles of food to be created. With this device, all one needs to do to <keyword id="84707" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="taste" source="Orion">taste</keyword> the food on the display is lick the screen. The device is called Taste the TV (TTTV) and involves 10 flavor canisters spraying a combination of flavors onto a plastic film that's layered onto a flat-screen TV, in an attempt to recreate the taste of a food item. "The goal is to make it possible for people to have the experience of something like eating at a restaurant on the other side of the world, even while staying at home," Meiji University professor Homei Miyashita told <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/lick-it-up-japan-professor-creates-tele-taste-tv-screen-2021-12-23/">Reuters</a>. "I'm thinking of making a platform where tastes from all over the world can be distributed as 'taste content.' It's the same as watching a movie or listening to a song that you like," Miyashita added. "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." The professor added that this device might come in useful for budding sommeliers and chefs — who need to taste things while honing their craft but are disadvantaged because of remote learning.Meiji university student Yuki Hou, 22, did a demonstration for Reuters, telling the machine that she wanted to taste sweet chocolate — after which the flavor canisters squirted a sample onto the plastic sheet attached to the screen."It's kind of like milk chocolate," Hou said, after licking the screen. "It's sweet like a chocolate sauce."Miyashita told Reuters that he built the prototype over the last year. He estimated that if a commercial version were to be created, it would cost $875 to produce.

Currently, touchscreens can only sense the position of one’s fingers but offer no feedback. This new technology is known as iTad - (interactive Touch Active Display), and it can mimic textures such as gritty surfaces and crisp edges. It is the next generation of in-touch display technology, said IIT Madras. There are no moving parts in iTad; however, it has an in-built multitouch sensor that detects finger movement and surface friction and adjusts via software. Further, to make this work, electric fields in the touchscreen are controlled via a physical phenomenon known as 'electroadhesion’. According to a lead researcher and a professor in the department of Applied Mechanics, M.Manicannan, this technology can take online shopping to the next level as we can touch and feel things before we buy them, especially clother. Also, around 30 percent of product returns are due to the mismatch of user experience. Their expectations are different by looking at the images online. To advance this technology, IIT Madras has collaborated with <keyword id="4867692" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="merkel-haptics" source="Orion">Merkel Haptics</keyword>, a start-up housed at the IIT Madras research park. CEO of Merkel Haptics, PV Padmapriya, said, “The prototype from Touchlab can be made into a product in a year. We aim to make a small device, similar to a computer mouse, on everyone's desk to add to the experience. We have been field testing and providing valuable feedback to the researchers at IIT-M on improving the functionality of the technology." Still at an early stage It’s not the first time <a href="https://www.futurity.org/touch-screens-mimic-feeling-objects-2645982-2/">we’ve heard about this technology</a>. It has been developing for over a decade, where researchers use electro-vibration to make for a better sensory experience on a smooth touch surface. Similarly, a Japanese professor has developed a prototype <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/the-lickable-television-concept-developed-in-japan-will-allow-viewers-to-taste-food-right-from-the-screen/articleshow/88467546.cms">lickable TV</a> screen that can imitate food flavours, a step towards creating a multi-sensory viewing experience. The device is called TV (TTTV), and it uses a carousel of 10 flavour canisters that spray in combination to create the taste of a particular food.

In the latest edition of 'Power On' newsletter Mark Gurman said Apple is building out parts of its team that will handle the launch and subsequent marketing efforts of the hardware. Part of this is the alleged hiring of Andrea Schubert, the communications and public relations head for AR at Meta, reports Apple Insider. The latest rumours suggest that the headset would come with multiple highly sensitive 3D sensing modules in order to offer innovative hand tracking. The structured light sensors can detect objects in the hands, comparable to how Face ID is able to figure out facial expressions to generate Animoji. The headset will focus on gaming, media consumption, and communication. It will have two processors, one with the same level of computing power as M1 along with a lower-end chip to handle input from different sensors. The headset may come with at least six-eight optical modules to simultaneously provide continuous video see-through AR services. The device is also said to have two 4K OLED microdisplay from Sony. The upcoming Apple headset will be similar to the Oculus Quest, and some prototypes being tested include external cameras to enable some AR features. It may feature at least 15 camera modules, eye-tracking, possibly iris recognition, and could cost between $2,000 and $3,000. The AR headset is expected to sport a sleek design so that it is lightweight and comfortable for the wearer to roam around for prolonged periods. It is also expected that the device will sport a high-resolution display, allowing users to read small bits of text while seeing other people in front of them at the same time.

Each cell contains a metal core, which will shrink the size of the cell, pulling its shell inward, when an electric current is passed through it or in reaction to temperature.On cold, dreary days you could be cheered up as the lower room temperature will cause the cells to react with rapid, psychedelic shifts in hue. Alternatively, on warmer days they could produce cooler tones in response to the heat.
