【推荐1】There are many TV cook shows where you wish you could reach through your screen and taste the delicious recipes (食谱) yourself.

Now, Japanese scientists have taken a huge step towards making that a reality, with the development of a lickable (可舔的) TV screen.

The device is called Taste the TV (TTTV) and has 10 taste boxes that can put taste samples (样本) onto the surface of the screen. The different tastes in the cans can then mix to create tastes similar to those being shown on screen, for example, coffee or pizza.

It is a technology under test, produced by Meiji University in Tokyo, Japan, with its developers expecting a commercial version to cost about £650.

Japanese professor Miyashita and 30 students have developed all kinds of taste types. In his version the 10 taste cans spray a mixture of samples on to a roll of hygienic (卫生的) film that is placed over a flat TV-screen.

“During the COVID-19, this kind of technology can improve the way people connect and communicate with the outside world,” said Miyashita.

“The goal is to make it possible for people to have the experience of something like eating at a restaurant on the other side of the world, even while at home,” he said.

Miyashita has also been in talks with companies about using his spray technology for applications like a device that can apply a pizza or chocolate taste to a piece of toasted bread.
