Moreover, it may also be possible to improve the palatability of food, such as in the case of hospital foods 10, 11, or in those diet foods which intrinsically have little taste/flavour 12. If the visual appearance of food can be modified at will, we may be able to control people’s appetite. In fact, well before a food is consumed, its appearance properties help to set expectations concerning the taste, flavour, and palatability of the food which ultimately affect its acceptance and thereafter its consumption 9. Additionally, visual appearance cues can trigger the desire to eat 5– 8. The visual appearance of food and drink is also very important as far as assessing its freshness is concerned 2– 4. As Apicius, the Roman gourmand, once said “We eat first with our eyes” 1. Generally-speaking, our choice of which foods to purchase and/or consume is determined by visual cues (i.e., by what we see). The novel food modification method and system outlined here can therefore potentially be used to control the taste/flavour of different foods crossmodally by means of modifying their appearance properties (specifically the SD of the luminance distribution while keeping other aspects of image statistics constant), and can do so in real time, without the need for food markers. expected moistness, wateriness and deliciousness), but also the actual taste properties on sampling the food itself. Manipulating the SD of the luminance distribution affected not only the expected taste/flavour of the food (e.g. Participants looked at a piece of Baumkuchen (Experiment 1) or a spoonful of tomato ketchup (Experiment 2) having different luminance distributions and evaluated the taste on sampling the food. We investigated the effects of changing the luminance SD distribution of Baumkuchen (a German baked cake) and tomato ketchup on visual perception, flavour expectations, and the ensuing taste experience. Instead, the approach outlined here was used to change the SD of the luminance distribution of the food while keeping the chromaticity, the average luminance, and the skewness constant. Importantly, this form of dynamic image manipulation does not change the colour on the food (which has been studied extensively previously). We developed a novel AR system capable of modifying the luminance distribution of foods in real-time using dynamic image processing for simulating actual eating situations. We report two experiments designed to investigate how the standard deviation (SD) of the luminance distribution of food images influences the perceived visual texture and the taste/flavour experience by using the latest Augmented Reality (AR) technology. He is going to be 9 this year.What we taste is affected by what we see, and that includes the colour, opacity, and shape of the food we consume. This party was a great success, so much that he wants to repeat the theme again this year. I was able to do most of these activities 2 at a time with the help of a couple of my friends. real poop from baby brother, dirty donuts rolled on ground, smelly stuff found in garbage, killer crickets, helping clean kitty's poop, etc. Of course with each activity you must make up a disgusting story about what each activity involves, ex. The winner is the one who collects the most pennies. Then mix about 100 pennies in litter and let the kids go dig in one at a time for 1 minute. Kitty litter digging: pour kitty litter in basin, moisten and shape tootsie rolls to look like poop and drop into kitty litter, they look authentic. Get the kids to chew mint gum first then spit it out, then the lemon. On the count of 3 every kid puts lemon wedge in mouth and sucks the last to spit it out is the winner. cut up lemon wedges and give one to each kid. Let the cricket free outside when done.ħ. The kid to collect the most money in 1 minute get most points. The kids have to reach into the jar and take out the quarters one by one, if they try to grab too many they could squish a cricket. Then at your local pet store get about 20-30 crickets (not expensive at all) and place in jar also add a few twigs. Large jar like (pickled eggs jar) fill bottom of jar with quarters and nickles. Kids have to search with their bare hands for the bugs the most bugs found within one minute win most points.Ħ. Cooked spaghetti, food colouring, gelatin, mix in a couple of plastic bugs. Each kid takes one sock off and with their toes only try to remove marbles the most marbles removed in one minute wins the points.ĥ. Iron toes: large basin filled with cold water, ice, salt and about 40 marbles. then you get each child to cup their noses over their dish and whoever can breath over this mixture the longest collects the most points.Ĥ. each kid had a dish placed in front of them which contained a mixture of parama cheese, hard boiled eggs, dog food, pepper or whatever you have at home that is smelly.
