Simulating Tastes and Smells Using a Digital Lollipop - with Danielle George

[@nick4819]

Ahhhhh soon our species will be able to send farts through electricity. What a time to be alive.

10 years ago..in 2010 i asked my physics teacher "Mam is it possible to transmit smell from one place to another? like TV visuals" She said there isn't any technology yet...But Now am watching one...

[@tobiitwm]

I think it's fantastic, I love eating all kind of candies and I could get the same sensation without eating junkfood. I really expect to this will go on sale, I'll pay as much as necessary.

[@rh5340]

imagine put this on VR, now you can live a full live in VRChat ...

[@cobr3n]

I was always taught NOT to stick my tongue on a plugged in circuitboard.. How times have changed.

Broo this would be epic on phones Like you could send a smell to ur frends like flexing ur cooking skills

[@plankroo8402]

Yeah, that is what everyone else was thinking...

[@JulianFischerJulesBarner]

People can send you smells over the internet? I CAN SEE NO POSSIBLE WAY THIS COULD GO WRONG...:D

[@ilhamsyamsuddin]

this technology will be very useful in adult industry

[@urinater]

Ilham Syamsuddin or you can just open up a can of stale tuna

[@plankroo8402]

Maybe there would be a way to mute specific smells and scents, or lower their volume.

[@BeastOfTraal]

I've been hearing about smell over the internet for almost 20 years. Still nobody wants it

[@dsmyify]

BeastOfTraal ~ correction, nobody knows they want it; yet! Nobody wanted VR in the 80s, they want it now. Smellivision needs to become invisible.

[@simhthmss]

The trolling potential of this is too huge

[@tomroz4051]

@@dsmyify Would be great to pair this tech with VR actually. Game developers could really transport you to the worlds they create.

[@foxrumor]

@@tomroz4051 I can only see it being useful when paired with vr. Otherwise its just more of that 8D cinema garbage that no one really wants.

[@Aaron_Higgins]

Does it only do sour? Just sounds like the taste you get from licking a battery

Now we can smell rotting corpse while watching Texas Chainsaw Masacre. WONDERFUL!

[@CatboyChemicalSociety]

well if you had implants in your olfactory receptors and use weak microwave signals to induce a current in them then virtual smell might just be a thing

[@thugasaurusrex6004]

MysteriusBhoice at the cost of cooking your brain yea

[@CatboyChemicalSociety]

read it first LOW POWER microwaves also its probably not enuf to cook things but it. u watch too much SAO

[@Silent.Program]

Interesting technique to suggest what your probands should say - that definitely makes it sound way more genuine...

[@mohammadaminrajabi1828]

next-generation consoles should include this kind of tech in their "realistic environment"

[@pory913]

There should be a horror game that will rely completely on your smelling, like fnaf relies on your hearing.

how to make that device she is using Arduino nano right?

[@tobiitwm]

I wish a tutorial for making this in the future

[@PalimpsestProd]

Cool, who posts the first "smelfie".

[@NoahSpurrier]

Can only the sense of sour be stimulated? Can any of the five tastes (sour, sweet, salty, bitter, ume) be stimulated? If only sour can be stimulated then how is this different than any low voltage DC current discharged through the tongue? If you lick a 9V battery it will taste sour. Electricity always tastes sour, so lemon isn't that interesting of an experience to transmit. Now if you can also stimulate sweet or salty then I would be impressed; otherwise, this is hardly more interesting than licking a 9V battery while smelling some lemon Pledge cleaning fluid.

[@matth23e2]

All tastes can be simulated.

[@NoahSpurrier]

What's the difference between stimulating a sour taste versus a salty taste? What sort of electric signal is used? Can two taste be stimulated at the same time?

[@elietheprof5678]

I'm guessing that maybe different taste buds might repond to different frequencies of AC, but i'm not sure

[@shiva.chennai]

You are right. But don't use 9v battery. You will get shock though DC. Use 1.3 volt battery.

[@NoahSpurrier]

@@shiva.chennai Tasting a 9V battery is the old fashioned way of knowing if it’s still good or not. But don’t try this a 12V car battery.

wow a remote controlled Toilet Spray. and this taste thing any other taste then sour would be impressing but sour ? taste a battery and you sort of have it.

[@RobertSzasz]

And its not a hologram at all. Just a fog machine and a projector.

[@thugasaurusrex6004]

Robert Szasz rain maker, not a dog machine lol

[@RobertSzasz]

Austin Massey fog machine, fan and a pipe with a bunch of holes in it. It creates a "curtain" of fog that the projector scatters an image off of. You can do a similar effect with a water drops but it requires either a substantial installation, or not caring how much water gets on the ground.

[@thugasaurusrex6004]

Robert Szasz I know the trick with fog but you can see the droplets of water lol plus if it was fog the image would be more clear and you wouldn't be able to see through it either. This is a TV show after all, I'm sure "substantial installation" means nothing to them. It seems to me like a very fine mist.

[@PifflePrattle]

Anyone here ever used their tongue to determine if a battery is flat? For those who haven't it's sharp, acid like. Also its not very impressive telling the girl what she's going to taste. Science is under attack. Not only should you avoid deceptive pracrices, you should avoid the appearance of deception.

[@professionalfacepuncher8361]

shut up and take my money

[@littlemanzjordan7267]

Pretty sure this is impossible since taste is created when a substance reacts chemically with your tongue. Interesting.

[@Gunnii95]

Littlemanz Jordan the chemical reactions cause the tastebuds to send an electrical signal to the brain. The tastebuds don't actually process the electrical signal being sent by the device, instead it goes straight into the nervous system and the brain.

[@ilozeet]
