Let’s drink this song together: interactive taste-sound systems

Published:13 November 2017Publication History

ABSTRACT

We present three digital systems: the Augmented Glass, the Bone-Conduction Hookah, and the sound installation T2M, designed for displaying sound and taste stimuli, with applications in research on crossmodal taste-sound interactions, multisensory experiences and performances, entertainment and health.
