FoodMorph: Changing Food Appearance Towards Less Unhealthy Food Intake

Published:28 November 2023Publication History

ABSTRACT

Human dietary experiences are influenced by multiple senses. To promote healthy eating and reduce the consumption of unhealthy food, we have developed FoodMorph, a virtual reality system that immerses users in visually simulated food textures that are inedible. By presenting users with these textures, FoodMorph aims to diminish interest in and intake of unhealthy food while also assessing the dining enjoyment associated with common non-food textures. We found that concrete textures on food tend to lead to the lowest enjoyment score, which potentially effects their dietary habits.
