Suggestion of the system reproducing pseudo-food experiences by giving plural visual and haptic stimuli in addition to single taste stimulation.

Abstract

We propose a system that simulatively experiences the act of eating without actually eating food. The experience of eating is reproduced by giving three stimuli at the same time that haptic stimulus representing food texture, visual stimulus representing food appearance and taste stimulus by using liquid flavored similar to food taste. At this time, only a single taste stimulus is used, and only a combination of a haptic stimulus and a visual stimulus is changed to express a plurality of foods having a similar taste.
