Virtual reality technology-based virtual taste method and device

Abstract

The invention discloses a virtual reality technology-based virtual taste method and device, and aims at solving the problem that current food taste simulation is single and bad in user immersion. Thedevice comprises an obtaining module, a signal generation module, a control module and a feedback module, wherein the obtaining module is wirelessly connected with a terminal and is used for obtainingand analyzing data and generating specific parameters; the signal generation module is used for generating specific stimulation signals; the control module is used for receiving the stimulation signals to generate stimulation to the touch, taste, sound and texture, and wirelessly controlling the feedback module; an execution element in the feedback module is used for generating corresponding perceptions and acting on human bodies; and the execution element comprises a micro array actuator, a myoelectric stimulation system, a bone conduction transmission mechanism and a tongue sleeve mechanism, which are mutually matched to realize touch feedback, taste feedback, texture feedback and sound feedback. By using the method and device, virtual taste equipment which can embody the food texture and has favorable immersion can be developed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a virtual tasting method and device, in particular to a virtual tasting device based on virtual reality technology. Background technique [0002] As the latest technology in the computer field, virtual reality is characterized by the ability to create a virtual environment for users in an imitative manner, and make users feel immersed in the virtual environment through sensory behaviors such as touch, vision, and hearing. This technology has made great progress in vision, such as the emerging VR equipment, but the research on touch and hearing is still in its infancy. Virtual tasting benefits not only healthy people who want to lose weight and love to live in the house, but also patients. For example, tasting sweets is no longer a taboo for diabetics. Research has proven that each of the other senses—sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell—affects what is tasted, underscoring the importance of each perception. At present, vi...

Problems solved by technology

The Chinese patent with application number 200580003245.9 discloses a device based on electrode stimulation to simulate taste. It simulates four basic tastes of sour, sweet, salty and bitter, lacks food texture, has a single form, and the metal piece has a foreign body sensation in the mouth

The Chinese patent application number 201510741805.6 has designed a device based on air pressure technology to simulate the taste of food. The device releases odor molecules in the mouth and controls the odor release chip to adjust the flow rate and flow rate of the airflow to simulate the taste of the target food, although It has a certain food texture, but this system makes the user's sense of immersion poor, and the sound from the release of the airflow affects the user experience, and the release of the airflow will enter the abdomen from the mouth, causing a feeling of fullness
