Researchers at RMIT University simulated ISS environment with VR goggles to study aroma intensity for astronaut diets.
Researchers from RMIT University in Australia conducted a study using virtual reality goggles to simulate the International Space Station's environment. The study found that vanilla and almond aromas were more intense in the simulated environment, while the lemon scent remained unchanged. The study aims to develop better-tailored diets for astronauts and other isolated individuals to enhance their nutritional intake, addressing not only physical challenges but also the potential psychological impact of isolation on taste perception.
