“EaTheremin”
Description:
Many research projects on food environments (e.g., dining tables and dishes) have been proposed recently [1] [2]. In contrast, we focused on the eating act itself, and proposed a fork-type instrument, EaTheremin (Eat + Theremin), which enables users to play various sounds by eating foods. These sounds are changed, according to resistance values of foods attached on the fork.
