"Dan Garrett of the Royal College of Art and Imperial College London watches as a visitor tastes food using Tasteworks technology, a Virtual Reality experience that augments and stimulates taste, during a design competition showcase of wearable technology at the Augmented Human International Conference in Singapore March 10, 2015. The conference runs from March 9 to 11. Tasteworks was developed from a study of dementia patients' communication difficulties. Such patients with deteriorating recognition capabilities may find eating stressful and unenjoyable. Using Oculus Rift and Leap Motion technology, Tasteworks places the subject in a ""hyper realistic Virtual World"" where flavour can be generated and emphasized.
