Interactive technology creates opportunities to turn these natural cues into playful, engaging experiences. The work proposes a structure for exploring playful food-sound interactions and presents a case study, “The singing carrot,” which produces digital sounds while a carrot is eaten, aiming to inform designers of interactive playful food sound systems.","The Singing Carrot: Designing Playful Experiences with Food Sounds  \nYan Wang  \nExertion Games Lab  \nRMIT University, Australia [yan@exertiongameslab.org](yan@exertiongameslab.org)  \nZhuying Li  \nExertion Games Lab  \nRMIT University, Australia [zhuying@exertiongameslab.org](zhuying@exertiongameslab.org)  \nRobert Jarvis  \nExertion Games Lab  \nRMIT University, Australia [bob@exertiongameslab.org](bob@exertiongameslab.org)  \nRohit Ashok Khot  \nExertion Games Lab  \nRMIT University, Australia [rohit@exertiongameslab.org](rohit@exertiongameslab.org)  \nFlorian‘Floyd’Mueller  \nExertion Games Lab  \nRMIT University, Australia [floyd@exertiongameslab.org](floyd@exertiongameslab.org)  \nPermission to make digital or hard copies of part or all of this work for personal or classroom use is granted without fee provided that copies are not made or distributed for profit or commercial advantage and that copies bear this notice and the full citation on the first page.

They play an important role in establishing our perception about the palatability of food. We believe interactive technology offers unique opportunities to create novel playful experiences with food by playing with these sounds . In exploring this opportunity, we outline a structure on how we can explore playful sounds and present one case study of a novel interactive food experience: “The singing carrot”. The singing carrot generates unique digital sounds while eating a carrot. Ultimately, with our work, we aim to inspire and guide designers working with interactive playful food sound.  \nCSS concepts  \n• Human-centered computing → Ubiquitous and mobile computing design and evaluation methods • Humancentered computing → Interaction design  \nAuthor Keywords  \nFood sounds; Food Play; Human-Food interaction;  \n(a) No sounds before eating  \n(b) Generating sounds during eating  \n(c) Finishing biting a portion of the carrot  \nFigure 1 : Images (a) - (c) The sound of The Singing Carrot that the user is generating through eating the carrot.  \nIntroduction  \nFood not only satisfies our hunger, its consumption is also a rich multi-sensory experience, where vision, smell, touch, taste and sound play a unique role in the perception of food, making the experience worthwhile [23,25,26,28] . In this paper, we are interested in sound; especially food sounds that is the sound that certain foods make during eating.  \nThe effects of sound on the eating and drinking experience are usually overlooked: most people seem to believe that sound is the least important sense when it comes to experiencing food and drinks [31] . Contrary to this belief, research has demonstrated that sound plays a far more important role, since our perception of taste is highly affected by sound. For instance, we perceive freshness of potato chips by the quality of its crisp sound that it makes during eating [32] . We also see a growing popularity of Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) [4] videos where sounds, including food sounds, are used to offer a sensual hedonic appeal.  \nAmbient sounds and music also influence our experience of a meal. Restaurants have started to use sound as a new ingredient. For instance, the dish“Sound of the Sea” served in The Fat Duck [34] is a seashell with an MP3 player with a pair of ear buds . The diner is encouraged to listen to the sound of the sea before eating, suggesting that music could enhance our eating experience . Meanwhile, Milliman et al. [22] found that playing faster","cbCaikrxFmAkpeCC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikrxFmAkpeCC","pdf",236262,1,8,"English","en",105,"# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Sound as a driver of food perception\n## Existing work and gaps in playful food-sound interaction\n## Goal and proposed approach\n# Case Study: “The Singing Carrot”","[{\"question\":\"What are “food sounds” in this paper?\",\"answer\":\"Food sounds are the sounds certain foods make during eating through chewing, biting, or licking.
