Researchers at the University of Tsukuba in Japan have created a unique interface that simulates the forces, sounds, and tastes associated with biting into food. The Food Simulator device generates resistance to virtual objects based on test data obtained from a special film-like sensor wrapped around real food as it was being chewed. The sound of biting--which is played through a speaker that simulates bone vibration--is synchronized with the biting action. And the chemical sensation of taste is created by a micro injector at the end of the interface ...
