At the Entertainment Computing 2024 (EC2024), held at the Hokkaido Information University from September 2 to 4, 2024, SENDA Chika and OKUNO Tatsuya, third-year students of the Department of Frontier Media Science at the School of Interdisciplinary Mathematical Sciences, and Professor MIYASHITA Homei received the Interactive Presentation Award for their “Virtual Cream Generator: Toward the realization of a production device for various fat- and sugar-free creams.”
Interactive Presentation Award given to an outstanding research presentation in the demonstration or poster presentations based on participants’ voting.
In this research, the taste, aroma, and texture of cream are reproduced as fat-free and sugar-free, so there is little risk of diabetes and obesity. Furthermore, no dairy products or eggs are used, so it eliminates allergy concerns. This reproduced cream is fat- and sugar-free, and the ingredient of gelatin is a protein, so it may be the perfect after-workout treat. The demonstration also featured a hardware product employing a powder mixing mechanism and a stirring mechanism. The MIYASHITA Laboratory will further develop this technology as Sol Food Print Technology.
At the demonstration, visitors were invited to taste a custard cream reproduced as fat- and sugar-free. The cream was so well received by the tasters that they requested another refill.
