I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father

Chapter 171: “We can do a livestream that is complete with presentation, taste, and aroma!” (2)

Gu Xi logged out of the forum after everything was settled.

After class, Gu Xi handed in the application for the Youth Technology Innovation Competition to her class teacher. She was even stopped by her class teacher, who asked her attentively whether she felt that there had been too much homework assignments and that she had been stressed.

Her attentiveness almost made Gu Xi felt uncomfortable.

Once they had returned to the class room, Gu Xi showed the details of the competition to Dong Mingming.

So, all you need to do is to turn in a somewhat completed innovative idea? asked Dong Mingming after she had read the description.

Thats right. Unlike the Battle at the Summit of Tianchuang, competitions that were geared toward young adults and high school students did not require actual products or research results. Mostly an innovative idea or a simply model would suffice.

Thats easy. Why dont we just propose some space project or a submarine that could go as deep as 15,000 meters? Oh right, Ive heard something about green energy on the news before. Maybe we can go that direction as well!

The more Dong Mingming talked, the more excited she got but she was slowly intimidated by Gu Xis you-must-be-joking look.

No? We cant do that?

Gu Xi, How about something more practical? At least something that they could remotely do.

Even though they would not need to come up with the actual products, the expert team would still grade the ideas basing on feasibility.

What do you consider as practical? Dog-walking gear? Shopping carts? asked Dong Mingming after some thoughts.

Mmhmm, something along that line. Gu Xi nodded, then asked, Say, whats popular and trendy right now?

Hmm, let me think. Trendy

Dong Mingming thought about it some and said, Aesthetic medicines, celebrities, livestream, etc.? Oh right, and general health improvement.

Her dad worked on improving his health virtually in his friend's circle every day.

Gu Xis eyes lit up all of a sudden when she heard Dong Mingmings words. She had an idea, I get it!

What is it? Do tell.

We can do a livestream that is complete with presentation, taste, and aroma!

Complete with presentation, taste, and aroma? Dong Mingmings eyes lit up when she heard Gu Xis words. She wasnt sure what Gu Xi meant by that exactly.

But that didnt stop her from thinking that it was a great idea.

Right. Gu Xi nodded, then carry on to explain. Right now, eating shows or shows about perfume or delicacies have to rely on the hosts description to convey how the food taste or how good or bad the product smells, etc. I am thinking whether it is possible to allow the viewers to be able to share the smell and taste remotely.

To put it simply, those who were watching the livestream will not only be able to see that host eating, but will also be able to find out what they smell or taste like through the livestream.

Gu Xis voice made Dong Mingmings eyes widened. Oh my gosh. That would be so amazing if we can do that! All those nights when she was watching eating shows in the middle of the night, it was awful to be able to see and not eat and could only rely on her brain to conjure up how they taste.

It was like staring at something sour in taste so her mouth would water and use that to quench her thirst.

Besides, just because she knew that the food tasted good didnt mean she could have them. How much weight did she want to gain?!

If she could experience the smell and taste, life couldnt be any better!

After her initial shock had past, however, Dong Mingming couldn't help but frowned. She asked dubiously, But, is that really possible?

Either way she looked at it, it didnt seem very plausible.

Em, unless, of course, they knew magic.

Dong Mingming mumbled to herself.

It isnt as complicated as you might think. Gu Xi smiled and said, Nobody thought we will be able to video chat on our phone some 10 years ago either.

My idea of transferring smell and taste is the same principle. It wasnt exactly allowing the smell or taste to go from where someone was to another.

Let me give you an example, it is substances like alcohols, ketones, amine chemicals, etc. that allow us to experience smell and that could be reproduce artificially. In addition, the sour, sweet, bitter, or spicy taste in food also came from certain chemical composition in the food and those, too, could be imitated artificially.

We can place some sort of a detector on the host end that can capture and analyze the smell of the food. Then, these data will be sent to the receiving end through the internet just like regular data.

If a viewers is to install a respective receiving device on their end, these data will then be interpreted, the chemicals stored in the devices would then combined the chemicals respectively and release them, allow the viewers to smell the food.

In additional Pausing, Gu Xi thought about it some and added, As for the sensation, we should be able to utilize electromagnetic waves to stimulate ones nerves to provide us with the relative sensation.

Thats about all the I could think of so far. As Gu Xi talked, she turned and saw the frightful look on Dong Mingming and the shock on her.
