"Edible information is interesting because it has a direct effect on the senses of sight and taste. One of our approaches is related to health, by sensing the user's physical and emotional state and providing combinations of flavors and colors to match that. Our other approach is for catering at parties and the like, where this system could be used as an entertainment robot. We'd like to develop both of these approaches from now on." http://www.diginfo.tv/2011/03/18/11-0069-r-en.php [endtext]
