A lickable screen that can imitate flavours is in development​

Food in fantasy can be such an oddly evocative part of the overall experience, especially in videogames. Just like in movies and books, it can serve as just a small garnish adding to the overall build of the world by showing us what people who actually live there would eat, but often it goes a bit further. In games you often have to acquire, or at least make the food and often the meals will provide benefits like health or power. Food in some games can be the whole point, or just a glimpse into a deeper world, but they all lack flavour.

Surely I’m not alone in saying I want to actually be able to taste videogame food. The dishes I make in Genshin Impact are so beautiful and often claim heritage to the cities they’re made. It almost seems like a crime that I don't get to eat them. Please, allow me to experience the feast of a Monster Hunter before the hunt, or the preparation meal of rebalanced food before going off on a raid in Valheim. I want to taste the bones that make for a crunchy chick in Fable 4. At least, I think I do.
