So, if this is totally true, I'm interested in finding out how Japanese achieved this. Maybe they're stimulating tongue receptors?

"The device, called Taste the TV (TTTV), uses a carousel of 10 flavour canisters that spray in combination to create the taste of a particular food. The flavour sample then rolls on hygienic film over a flat TV screen for the viewer to try."

Scents don't work like colors, you can't get every scent by mixing a few "basic" scents. There are thousands of unique aromatic compounds and you would need hundreds of them to get even the most basic combinations.

On México there is a tradition where the grandmas or mothers bake a special bread for Xmas and hide a little plastic figurine on it, the tradition mandates whom find the figurine on his portion must to pay for the party...
Once upon a time it used to be a metal figurine, but inflation and all that. Also, plastic gives it a certain something, you know. :tpi:

Interesting, hope they can achieve reproduction of aromas though. Also, a lot of flavors and aromas can be achieved by simply adding or subtracting one electron from a component.
So of course, the principle is the same, that is, mixing pre-chosen components to make more complex solutions.i

I mean it's simple when you put it like that, but that is Star Trek replicator - level technology right there.

None of what you said was wrong, the spectroscopic analysis would work fine even today, but recreating the smell from scratch on the other end is just not possible with today's technology.

I've had the idea of utilizing Optometric methods to mix chemicals in order to receive and produce aromas and flavors through cameras and TVs.

Every chemical component has a certain visible spectre, so Optometry could help measure said spectre and, with the right combination, reproduce the aforementioned phenomena, that is, aromas and flavors.

So, a camera with Optometric equipment will detect components, and later, a TV with the same equipment can receive the measurements, mix them, and reproduce whichever aroma and flavor the camera captured.

Kinda like reproducing one color by mixing RGB values.

I've already forgot most of my practices as a "Chemical Pharmacobiologist" that I was taught at highschool to determine the purity and reproduction of certain components in medicines, products and whatnot. So this idea I've had it for more than 10 years... 2010 if I recall correctly.

So, if this is totally true, I'm interested in finding out how Japanese achieved this. Maybe they're stimulating tongue receptors?
I mean chemicals need to be synthesized de novo more or less for this which is not gonna be possible

You would need a system similar to RGB which somehow produces complex smells / tastes from more simple smells or tastes - although I don't think that's really possible

Japanese achieved recreation of taste. Now, with aromas, I'm thinking something like this:
https://www.livescience.com/vanilla-flavor-plastic-waste.html

If you really think about it, synthetic flavours/perfumes have in reality, the exact same chemical components, except they're made in a lab. I didn't answered Veho's suposition of "creating from scratch" but I'll try to explain the idea:

Have a spectrometer, let's find some chemicals with the right wave lenght that mixes together to make one wave lenght of say, vanilla aroma. It's why I made the analogy "kinda like mixing RGB values to make one color".
But at this point I'm afraid I'm too ignorant to discuss this idea further.

It doesn't work like that, scents don't mix together like wavelenghts because olfactory receptors don't work like light receptors. There is a thousand different olfactory receptors and each reacts only to one or a few chemicals. The exact chemicals need to be there in order for you to smell a certain smell.

It's possible to synthesize aromatic chemicals in a lab but it's a large industrial process, and you need a separate lab for each chemical. Not something you can have on a desktop.

I have a aroma factory in my chair right now, so that fact debunks your pseudo science! :p1ng: :wub:

Well there's your solution then, a herd of genetically modified Juans that fart different smells on command.

    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat

    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh

    Tootles

    Tootles? Wtf

    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Gonna check out the new Garfield looks like garbage
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Can't wait to see the new "stick" that can actually play Ps3 or 360 games. I know they are getting close.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Xdqwerty didn't you see the new garfield?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Ah it's all animated I was hoping for some live action
