# Multi-Sensory Dining Installations This teamLab Experience Makes Mealtime Highly Interactive By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2017-04-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multi-sensory-dining References: [psfk](https://www.psfk.com/2017/04/interactive-restaurant-interior-seasons.html) & [team-lab.net](https://www.team-lab.net/w/sagaya) 'Worlds Unleashed and then Connecting - SAGAYA' is the name of a new [multi-sensory dining experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensory-dining-experience) from [teamLab](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phenomena-abu-dhabi) in Japan. When diners sit down for a meal at this restaurant in the Ginza district of Tokyo, they are treated to [immersive visual projections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/justine-emard) that cover the walls and table. These visuals change to match the dishes served, creating a completely interactive, immersive experience. Additionally, the virtual animations released by the different dishes may be influenced by others on the table, as well as the reactions of diners. For instance, a bird may fly across one diner's dish and perch itself on the branch that stems from another diner's plate. Alternatively, if a diner sits still enough, they may even be able to have a bird land on their hand. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Live Arts](https://www.trendhunter.com/livearts) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Immersive Dining Experiences:** Opportunity for restaurants to create interactive and immersive dining experiences through the use of visual projections and animations. - **Multi-sensory Culinary Art:** Opportunity for chefs to enhance the dining experience by incorporating visually appealing and interactive elements that match the dishes served. - **Influence-based Virtual Animations:** Opportunity to create virtual animations that are influenced by the presence and reactions of diners, enhancing the interactivity and engagement of the dining experience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Hospitality:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for hotels and restaurants to offer unique and memorable dining experiences that go beyond traditional food service. - **Culinary Arts:** Opportunity for chefs and culinary experts to explore the fusion of food and technology, creating multi-sensory culinary art that engages all the senses. - **Augmented Reality:** Opportunity for AR technology companies to develop immersive dining experiences by integrating visual projections and animations into restaurant settings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multi-Media Dining Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-3d-journey-through-time.md) - [Multi-Sensory Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selva-toronto.md) - [Sensorially Immersive Art Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phenomena-abu-dhabi.md) - [Conceptual Fine Dining Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conceptual-fine-dining.md) - [Immersive Digital Forests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teamlab-1.md) - [Virtual Sakura Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teamlab-forest.md) - [Painterly Dining Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/7-paintings-the-art-of-dining.md) - [Multi-Sensory Dining Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/johnnie-walker-blue-table.md) - [Immersive Food Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/how-to-become-the-worlds-greatest-chef.md)
