About
Nurafiqah Johari is a pioneering researcher in the emerging field of multisensory human-computer interaction, with a particular focus on digital taste interfaces. Her most notable contribution is the development of the "Thermal Sweet Taste Machine," a groundbreaking device that creates sweet taste sensations on the tongue through precise temperature manipulation—without the use of any chemicals. This innovation, published in 2016 and garnering 15 citations, represents a significant leap forward in multisensory communication, opening new possibilities for virtual reality, remote dining experiences, and assistive technologies for individuals with dietary restrictions. By demonstrating that thermal cues alone can evoke a fundamental taste modality, Johari has challenged conventional assumptions about sensory perception and interface design. Her work sits at the intersection of haptics, gustation, and interaction design, offering a novel pathway for creating richer, more immersive digital experiences. As a researcher, Johari continues to explore how the human senses can be engaged and augmented through technology, making her a key figure in the future of multisensory computing.
