ABSTRACT
In this paper we describe an exploratory design study of the potentials of taste as a playful interaction modality. We present the design and implementation of LOLLio -- an interactive lollipop that serves as a haptic input device that dynamically changes its taste. We conclude this paper with three basic principles for potential game designs, where we see how the interactive lollipop we have built can foster novel, playful game experiences.

Playful taste interaction
IDC '13: Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Interaction Design and ChildrenHuman-food interaction is an emerging research area, dealing with problems people can have related to food, such as a lack of nutrition knowledge. Recently, more attention has been put on investigating pseudo-gustatory interfaces. As food is a central ...
Virtual ingredients for food and beverages to create immersive taste experiences
This paper presents a new technology that overlays virtual taste sensations on food and beverages while eating and drinking. This additional layer of taste sensation enables modifying the existing taste sensations (flavors) of food and beverages ...
Towards Multisensory Storytelling with Taste and Flavor
MHFI'18: Proceedings of the 3rd International Workshop on Multisensory Approaches to Human-Food InteractionFilm makers, producers, and theaters have continuously looked at ways to embody and/or integrate multiple sensory cues in the experiences they deliver.
