TTTV4: Cutlery-Type Taste Display Toward Personal Taste Media

Abstract

This paper introduces a cutlery-type taste display, TTTV4, that aims to realize the concept of "personal taste media." This device enables users to enjoy their desired taste with each bite, thereby personalizing taste content. This system enables users to easily use taste displays during meals, contributes to expanding the target users of taste displays from food creators to consumers. Accordingly, we discuss hardware performance in the context of speed and accuracy requirements arising from this shift. To explore interfaces suitable for a wide range of users, we developed two prototypes based on direct manipulation and interface agents.
