The Morning After: Is it time for lickable TVs?

12:15pm, Friday, 24'th Dec 2021 Engadget
I joked about LGs unusual TVs earlier this week, but I''ll take it back. Those were fine. Sensible, even. Thats because a Meiji University professor in Japan has unveiled a prototype screen called Taste the TV. The prototype sends electrical signals to 10 flavor canisters that spray flavors on a film overlay for those willing to lick. Creator Homei Miyashita thinks of the device as less of a taste-at-home device, and more as a tool for food professionals, like chefs and sommeliers. The prototype is, yes, a little icky, despite the hygienic film that can be treated between tastings. According to Reuters , Miyashita is already discussing spin-off applications for the spray tech, like applying pizza or chocolate flavors to a slice of toasted bread. Dont tell him about Nutella. Your daily TMA will be taking a few days off for the holidays, but we''ll be back next Wednesday. Have a great weekend! -Mat Smith Japan''s latest life-sized Gundam statue is almost complete The robot''s head has just been attached.
