Influence of virtual color on taste: Multisensory integration between virtual and real worlds

作者:

Highlights:

• We tested the effects of virtual drink color on the perceived taste in 3 experiments.

• The effect of VR-based simulation of the actual tea color on taste ratings was not significant.

• Simulation of one person's taste-associated color affected his/her saltiness ratings.

• Simulation of other people's associated color did not influence taste ratings.

• Participants may integrate visual cues from the VR and actual gustatory cues.
