To enhance the dining experience, prior studies in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and gastrophysics have demonstrated that modifying the static shape of solid foods can amplify taste perception. However, the exploration of dynamic shape-changing mechanisms in liquid foods remains largely untapped. In the present study, we employ cymatics, a scientific discipline focused on utilizing sound frequencies to generate patterns in liquids and particles to augment the drinking experience. Utilizing speakers, we dynamically reshaped liquids exhibiting five distinct taste profiles and evaluated resultant changes in taste perception and drinking experience. Our research objectives extend beyond merely augmenting taste from visual to tactile sensations; we also prioritize the experiential aspects of drinking. Through a series of experiments and workshops, we revealed a significant impact on taste perception and overall drinking experience when mediated by cymatics effects. Building upon these findings, we designed and developed tableware to integrate cymatics principles into gastronomic experiences.

Cymatics Cup：利用 Cymatics 改变形状的饮料

为了增强用餐体验，之前的人机交互 (HCI) 和美食物理学研究表明，改变固体食物的静态形状可以增强味觉。然而，对液体食品动态形状变化机制的探索在很大程度上尚未开发。在本研究中，我们采用了 Cymatics，这是一门专注于利用声音频率在液体和颗粒中生成模式以增强饮用体验的科学学科。利用扬声器，我们动态地重塑了具有五种不同口味特征的液体，并评估了味觉感知和饮用体验的最终变化。我们的研究目标不仅仅是增强从视觉到触觉的味觉；我们还优先考虑饮酒的体验方面。通过一系列的实验和研讨会，我们揭示了在cymatics效应的介导下对味觉和整体饮酒体验的显着影响。基于这些发现，我们设计并开发了餐具，将 Cymatics 原理融入美食体验中。
