A groundbreaking development has taken place in the world of science. Researchers from the United States have developed a system that can chemically mimic the tastes of food and beverages by converting them into digital data. This technology, called “e-Taste,” could make it possible to experience taste in virtual reality. Researchers in the United States have developed a system that can digitally represent the tastes of food and beverages by converting them into digital data. Developed by scientists at Ohio State University, “e-Taste” digitizes the tastes of food and beverages using chemicals representing five basic tastes. The tastes transformed into data through sensors are then transmitted to specific regions of the tongue for perception. Imitation Rate Reaches 87% The system was tested by presenting different levels of sourness to a group of 10 people. In the first experiment, the accuracy of taste imitation was measured at 70%. In the second test involving more complex tastes, flavors such as lemonade, cake, scrambled eggs, coffee, and fish soup were matched with 87% accuracy. Flavor Revolution in Virtual Reality on the Horizon Researchers suggest that the “e-Taste” technology can be integrated with virtual reality. It is anticipated that this system can be used in various fields, from biomedical research to online shopping, weight control, and physical rehabilitation. However, it is emphasized that the system has not yet been able to fully mimic spicy and oily tastes, and it also does not include the smell factor, which plays a significant role in the taste experience. The results of this innovative research, which is ongoing, have been published in the journal Science Advances.
