Remember how everyone always use to talk about, "if only we had Smell-o-vision..." Things that looked so delicious on t.v., but was only limited to the sense of sight. If we had the ability to add smell, people would definitely be running out the doors to be buying whatever they saw on t.v.
The time is coming. This is something called "Smellit" by Nuno Teixeira. I really don't know much about this, just read about it on a blog. Here are some pics of a prototype. Smellit works similar to how a printer uses ink cartridges; instead of ink they use different "smell" cartridges. Smellit decodes all the smell information 10-20 seconds ahead of the actual scenes and once analyzed, the smell cartridge vaporizes a very small amount of concentrated "smell gel", and a fan distributes the wonderful smells into the air.
Outrageous!
