Current level of development of the food and chemical industries allows us to synthesize almost any taste and smell. But what if we add to these the achievements of high technology? All of this can get very interesting invention. Such as Vocktail presented by scientists from the National University of Singapore. They created a glass that can change the taste, aroma and even the color I put in it plain water.
To begin with, the user can change the color of the drink with the help of special electrodes built into the glass. You can then start to experiment with taste or smell. On the rim of the glass, located electrodes. They stimulate vsesokrushayuschaya papillae of the tongue, making the drink sweet, salty, bitter, or creating the right combination of flavors. In addition, the tube embedded in the glass, releasing gases with different odors, making the person to feel the flavor of the drink.
Using his technology, scientists turned water into lemonade taste sensations and smell did not differ from the present. In addition, for glass developed a special application that enables users to create recipes of their own cocktails and share them with each other. The app is already “sewn up” information on how to create a water analogue to a variety of beverages, including alcoholic (without the effect of intoxication), for example wine. Experts suggest that their development can be used as an element of market of augmented and virtual reality for even more immersive.
