Singapore have developed a virtual cocktail

2017-11-15

Scientists at the National University of Singapore have developed a virtual cocktail - Vocktail - that digitally simulates multisensory flavor experiences. The Vocktail - the interactive cocktail glass - allows the user to create their own virtual flavors, smells and colors to enhance the existing ones in the drink. The inside of the base of the glass contains the electronics needed for multisensory stimulation, including scent cartridges and three micro air pumps. Also, LED lights can enhance the color of the cocktail, and two silver electrodes on the rim of the glass give off salty, bitter and sweet tastes when the drinker touches them with their tongue.
