- We can use technology to send sounds and images to people far away - but what about our other senses? In this clip from the 2014 CHRISTMAS LECTURES "'Sparks will fly: How to hack your home", Danielle George demonstrates a device for sharing tastes and smells - with a hologram of Dallas Campbell.

Ahhhhh soon our species will be able to send farts through electricity. What a time to be alive.
Its been 4 years. This comment should have tens of thousands of likes by now. The world is so unfair.
@@sammymontego2217 sure it is...
Yep
10 years ago..in 2010 i asked my physics teacher "Mam is it possible to transmit smell from one place to another? like TV visuals" She said there isn't any technology yet...But Now am watching one...
I think it's fantastic, I love eating all kind of candies and I could get the same sensation without eating junkfood. I really expect to this will go on sale, I'll pay as much as necessary.
I was always taught NOT to stick my tongue on a plugged in circuitboard.. How times have changed.
best comment
imagine put this on VR, now you can live a full live in VRChat ...
People can send you smells over the internet? I CAN SEE NO POSSIBLE WAY THIS COULD GO WRONG...:D
this technology will be very useful in adult industry
Ilham Syamsuddin or you can just open up a can of stale tuna
Maybe there would be a way to mute specific smells and scents, or lower their volume.
"This isn't salmon! Or fish! What is this, why I oughta!"
Broo this would be epic on phones
Like you could send a smell to ur frends like flexing ur cooking skills
Yeah, that is what everyone else was thinking...
I've been hearing about smell over the internet for almost 20 years. Still nobody wants it
BeastOfTraal ~ correction, nobody knows they want it; yet! Nobody wanted VR in the 80s, they want it now.
Smellivision needs to become invisible.
The trolling potential of this is too huge
@@dsmyify Would be great to pair this tech with VR actually. Game developers could really transport you to the worlds they create.
@@tomroz4051 I can only see it being useful when paired with vr. Otherwise its just more of that 8D cinema garbage that no one really wants.
Interesting technique to suggest what your probands should say - that definitely makes it sound way more genuine...
There should be a horror game that will rely completely on your smelling, like fnaf relies on your hearing.
Now we can smell rotting corpse while watching Texas Chainsaw Masacre. WONDERFUL!
50 Year’s later, kids are walking around sucking on robot lollipops
well if you had implants in your olfactory receptors and use weak microwave signals to induce a current in them then virtual smell might just be a thing
MysteriusBhoice at the cost of cooking your brain yea
read it first
LOW POWER microwaves
also its probably not enuf to cook things but it.
u watch too much SAO
next-generation consoles should include this kind of tech in their "realistic environment"
Does it only do sour? Just sounds like the taste you get from licking a battery
Aaron Higgins 9 volt battery
@@TELEVISIBLE Aaron Higgins 9 Volt battery
Cool, who posts the first "smelfie".
How these divices are made...?!
how to make that device she is using Arduino nano right?
I wish a tutorial for making this in the future
All hail Brain!!!
Can only the sense of sour be stimulated? Can any of the five tastes (sour, sweet, salty, bitter, ume) be stimulated? If only sour can be stimulated then how is this different than any low voltage DC current discharged through the tongue? If you lick a 9V battery it will taste sour. Electricity always tastes sour, so lemon isn't that interesting of an experience to transmit. Now if you can also stimulate sweet or salty then I would be impressed; otherwise, this is hardly more interesting than licking a 9V battery while smelling some lemon Pledge cleaning fluid.
All tastes can be simulated.
What's the difference between stimulating a sour taste versus a salty taste? What sort of electric signal is used? Can two taste be stimulated at the same time?
I'm guessing that maybe different taste buds might repond to different frequencies of AC, but i'm not sure
You are right. But don't use 9v battery. You will get shock though DC. Use 1.3 volt battery.
@@shiva.chennai Tasting a 9V battery is the old fashioned way of knowing if it’s still good or not. But don’t try this a 12V car battery.
be cool to learn how to charge particles however you want by a device and disperse these chemicals to the nose
wow such a thing that can make flavors and smells by the push of a button
Wow thats amazing
Amazing!
God loves you.
Name of that devices plzz
wow a remote controlled Toilet Spray. and this taste thing any other taste then sour would be impressing but sour ? taste a battery and you sort of have it.
Very cool!
Wow, a headphone jack
Unfortunately they died ten days later😢
How 2 vid would be nice.
Whaaaaaat!
An electronic implant would be more impressive.
SeaQuest =)
MATRIX
epic fail head phone jack !
Big oof
And its not a hologram at all. Just a fog machine and a projector.
Robert Szasz rain maker, not a dog machine lol
Austin Massey fog machine, fan and a pipe with a bunch of holes in it. It creates a "curtain" of fog that the projector scatters an image off of. You can do a similar effect with a water drops but it requires either a substantial installation, or not caring how much water gets on the ground.
Robert Szasz I know the trick with fog but you can see the droplets of water lol plus if it was fog the image would be more clear and you wouldn't be able to see through it either. This is a TV show after all, I'm sure "substantial installation" means nothing to them. It seems to me like a very fine mist.
Anyone here ever used their tongue to determine if a battery is flat?
For those who haven't it's sharp, acid like.
Also its not very impressive telling the girl what she's going to taste.
Science is under attack. Not only should you avoid deceptive pracrices, you should avoid the appearance of deception.
Online dating would be easier
Yuck
plankton
🍋👅⚡️
Creepy.
Okay. It's not the first of April.
shut up and take my money
Pretty sure this is impossible since taste is created when a substance reacts chemically with your tongue.
Interesting.
Littlemanz Jordan the chemical reactions cause the tastebuds to send an electrical signal to the brain. The tastebuds don't actually process the electrical signal being sent by the device, instead it goes straight into the nervous system and the brain.
Know when you watch a live show in evidence and demonstration of something firmly backed up by something with Royal in the title and you still go nah not real
Littlemanz Jordan do you know what happens after the chemicals bind?
Gunnar Ingi Oooooo got it
Loz Turner Calm down it's just a question
Taste in simulation is possible 💕
