Virtual reality (VR) is about to become even more immersive with a new invention that lets you taste food while using VR headsets. Scientists have created a device called “e-Taste,” which uses tiny sensors and wireless chemical dispensers to simulate different flavors in your mouth.

EPIC.NOW takes clients on a unique culinary journey at New York's Michelin-starred Icca with the help of Meta Quest 3.

Scientists tested a device that helped volunteers taste flavors meant to represent distant samples of coffee, lemonade, fried eggs, cake and fish soup.

Taste' analyzes food flavor profiles and tries to copy it using a concoction of chemicals pushed through a gel.
