Professor Yoshiaki Miyashita and Miyu Kobayashi (1st year master's student of the Graduate School of Mathematical Sciences, Meiji University) have developed a communication system "TeleSalty" that allows you to experience the same concentration of salt in real time even remotely. ..We conducted a demonstration experiment connecting Gifu Prefecture and Tokyo, and succeeded in transmitting the salty taste of miso soup made with mixed miso to Tokyo in real time.
"TeleSalty" always sends the value measured by the salt sensor as the concentration value in terms of sodium chloride.The receiving unit electrically migrates the ions in the saline solution having the specified concentration, and always reproduces the same salt concentration.
In a demonstration experiment that actually connected Gifu Prefecture and Tokyo, the salty taste of miso soup made in Gifu Prefecture was transmitted to Tokyo in real time.We carried the miso soup on the Shinkansen and confirmed that the same taste was reproduced.Also, when I diluted miso soup with water or added salt in Gifu, I could instantly feel the change in taste in Tokyo.
By using this system, various applications can be considered, such as sharing the same eating experience remotely and giving guidance while both parties confirm the cooking process.Details of the research were announced on September 2021, 2021 at "Entertainment Computing 9" sponsored by the Information Processing Society of Japan Entertainment Computing Study Group.
