My project interacts with the users sense of sight and smell, the idea behind this interactive experiment is how the visual aspect and smell of food items have an impact on your expectation of taste. Will visually unappealing images and the smell of a near vomit like scent affect the user to the extreme that they will not want to eat a tasty sweet lying within? That could also be reversed to say will a visually pleasing and sweet smelling aroma have an affect on how you eat these sweets. Through this exploration I aim to give the users a unique taste experience.
Instruction
Visually inspect each box. Place your nose in the cutout piece in the top, smell the inside to get a idea on the scents. Open the top and take out a single sweet. Take the sweet and place in mouth and indulge. Whilst the user is indulging on the sweet, continue smelling the box. Does the sight of visually appealing/ unappealing sights and fruity aroma/ sickly aroma have an effect on your expectation of taste?
