Japan
Japan has developed a prototype TV that can transmit taste, requiring the viewer to lick the screen.
The claim that a prototype TV can transmit taste is supported by evidence of a device known as "Taste the TV" (TTTV) that uses sprays to simulate flavors. However, while this device reproduces flavors, the evidence regarding the necessity for users to lick the screen is less clear. Safety concerns advise against licking due to potential harm from screen chemicals.
