Sharing tastes from around the world SENSORY TECH
1. REMOTE TASTING Attractions designers are on a quest to perfect the fully immersive digital experience, with the aim of extending the attraction beyond its four walls to get more engagement with guests. In working towards this aim they
have all fi ve senses to play with – sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste. Stimulating sight and hearing have been the mainstays of most tech interactions to date – especially those which are screen-based, so this tech has been well developed. The quest is on to fi nd ways of digitally sharing touch, smell and taste. In this year’s predictions (see numbers 4 and 20), we look at the ways in which
smell and touch will be transmitted digitally. We believe that, in addition, technology will be developed which enables people to share different tastes digitally from anywhere in the world. We expect this type of technology
to utilise readers and 3D printers: a substance would be scanned, analysed, encoded, transmitted and reconstituted remotely by 3D printer. So if you want to share a taste with
somebody from the other side of the world, this will be possible once technologies like these are combined. Remote tasting will give attractions designers another great tool to play with.
Attractions Foresight™ is published annually in the Attractions Management Handbook
