  • Summary
    Restaurant dining is about more than just the food - the experience of dining out is more than half of the fun. That is one reason why food sales in restaurants (in the US, at least) actually surpassed those in grocery stores for the first time ever in January of 2015, according to the American Enterprise Institute. As robust as the market is, however, competition is keen and consumers tend to be variety-seeking. Virtual reality has the potential to add a brand new experience to dining, one that could eventually rearrange the competitive landscape within the restaurant industry.

    Key Findings
    - Popularized in the gaming community, virtual reality can now shape and alter all of the major elements of the dining experience.

    - Virtual reality has the potential to allow the consumer to experience the pleasure of food consumption without any of the pain by manipulating the sight, taste, smell, touch, and even the sound of the eating experience.

    - Project Nourished - a collaboration of more than two dozen food scientists, engineers, chefs, and designers - demonstrates how one may design a "gastronomic virtual reality experience."

    - Virtual reality dining offers myriad potential future applications including remote dining, alternative reality dining, eating therapy, and even help losing weight by changing the psychology of food consumption.
