Scientists at the National University of Singapore are experimenting with developing virtual food, Kedem said.
Electronic food is a device that will be able to simulate the taste and texture of food. They plan to use such innovations in the latest games, where participants can have a meal without leaving the virtual world.
Such food will also be relevant for people who, perhaps due to illness, or for other reasons, were forced to refuse certain food products. And with the latest technologies, it will be possible to try a variety of junk food at any time without any consequences for the body.
Scientists have already developed "digital candy" with several flavors. It is interesting that, as it turned out, the most difficult thing is to recreate the sweet foods. The effect of the sweet will be felt by the taste buds through the temperature difference.
According to the developers, it will be possible to mount a sweet flavor simulator in a cup or glass, thereby making unsweetened drinks sweet, which will reduce sugar consumption.
