So, if this is totally true, I'm interested in finding out how Japanese achieved this. Maybe they're stimulating tongue receptors?

"The device, called Taste the TV (TTTV), uses a carousel of 10 flavour canisters that spray in combination to create the taste of a particular food. The flavour sample then rolls on hygienic film over a flat TV screen for the viewer to try."

Scents don't work like colors, you can't get every scent by mixing a few "basic" scents. There are thousands of unique aromatic compounds and you would need hundreds of them to get even the most basic combinations.

On México there is a tradition where the grandmas or mothers bake a special bread for Xmas and hide a little plastic figurine on it, the tradition mandates whom find the figurine on his portion must to pay for the party...
Once upon a time it used to be a metal figurine, but inflation and all that. Also, plastic gives it a certain something, you know. :tpi:

Interesting, hope they can achieve reproduction of aromas though. Also, a lot of flavors and aromas can be achieved by simply adding or subtracting one electron from a component.
So of course, the principle is the same, that is, mixing pre-chosen components to make more complex solutions.i

I mean it's simple when you put it like that, but that is Star Trek replicator - level technology right there.

None of what you said was wrong, the spectroscopic analysis would work fine even today, but recreating the smell from scratch on the other end is just not possible with today's technology.

I've had the idea of utilizing Optometric methods to mix chemicals in order to receive and produce aromas and flavors through cameras and TVs.

Every chemical component has a certain visible spectre, so Optometry could help measure said spectre and, with the right combination, reproduce the aforementioned phenomena, that is, aromas and flavors.

So, a camera with Optometric equipment will detect components, and later, a TV with the same equipment can receive the measurements, mix them, and reproduce whichever aroma and flavor the camera captured.

Kinda like reproducing one color by mixing RGB values.

I've already forgot most of my practices as a "Chemical Pharmacobiologist" that I was taught at highschool to determine the purity and reproduction of certain components in medicines, products and whatnot. So this idea I've had it for more than 10 years... 2010 if I recall correctly.

So, if this is totally true, I'm interested in finding out how Japanese achieved this. Maybe they're stimulating tongue receptors?
I mean chemicals need to be synthesized de novo more or less for this which is not gonna be possible

You would need a system similar to RGB which somehow produces complex smells / tastes from more simple smells or tastes - although I don't think that's really possible

Japanese achieved recreation of taste. Now, with aromas, I'm thinking something like this:
https://www.livescience.com/vanilla-flavor-plastic-waste.html

If you really think about it, synthetic flavours/perfumes have in reality, the exact same chemical components, except they're made in a lab. I didn't answered Veho's suposition of "creating from scratch" but I'll try to explain the idea:

Have a spectrometer, let's find some chemicals with the right wave lenght that mixes together to make one wave lenght of say, vanilla aroma. It's why I made the analogy "kinda like mixing RGB values to make one color".
But at this point I'm afraid I'm too ignorant to discuss this idea further.

It doesn't work like that, scents don't mix together like wavelenghts because olfactory receptors don't work like light receptors. There is a thousand different olfactory receptors and each reacts only to one or a few chemicals. The exact chemicals need to be there in order for you to smell a certain smell.

It's possible to synthesize aromatic chemicals in a lab but it's a large industrial process, and you need a separate lab for each chemical. Not something you can have on a desktop.

I have a aroma factory in my chair right now, so that fact debunks your pseudo science! :p1ng: :wub:

Well there's your solution then, a herd of genetically modified Juans that fart different smells on command.
