  • 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.

    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.

      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.

    • @thugasaurusrex6004
      @thugasaurusrex6004 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

      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.
