ABSTRACT
Herein, we propose "unlimited electric gum," an electric taste device that will enable users to perceive taste for as long the user is chewing the gum. We developed an in-mouth type novel electric taste-imparting apparatus using a piezoelectric element so that the piezoelectric effect is stimulated by chewing. This enabled the design of a device that does not require cables around a user's lips or batteries in their mouth. In this paper, we introduce this device and report our experimental and exhibition results.

Controlling Temporal Change of a Beverage's Taste Using Electrical Stimulation
CHI EA '19: Extended Abstracts of the 2019 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsIn this paper, we discuss concepts for improving beverage experience using electrical stimulation in terms of the requirements for the procedure (design space), previous study (completion), and limitations of conventional technologies. To improve ...
Augmented gustation using electricity
AH '11: Proceedings of the 2nd Augmented Human International ConferenceIn this paper, we propose a method to augment gustation and increase the number of perceptible tastes. Electric taste is the sensation elicited upon stimulating the tongue with electric current. We used this phenomenon to convey information that humans ...
Double-Layered Cup-Shaped Device to Amplify Taste Sensation of Carbonation by the Electrical Stimulation on the Human Tongue
VRST '21: Proceedings of the 27th ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and TechnologyWe show that electrical stimulation on the human tongue amplifies the taste sensation of carbonated beverages. We have developed a novel electric taste system with two components: a cup-shaped device and its circuit for stimulation. The cup-shaped ...
