TeleScent
Did you ever measure a smell? Can you tell whether one smell is just twice as strong as another? Can you measure the difference between two kinds of smell and another? We have many different smells, from the odor of violets and roses to asafetida. But once you can measure their likeness and differences, you can have a science of odor. If you are ambitious to find a new science, measure a smell.
Alexander Graham Bell, 1914
By 2050, augmented reality will completely transform how we communicate globally. Overseas calls will no longer be limited to sight and sound but will engage all five senses. However, in 2024, transmitting scents through technology was only demonstrated with a minimal scent library. That's where the TeleScent project comes in - it aims to open the doors for transmission and reception of a wide range of scents by breaking barriers on scent modularization. TeleScent will demonstrate how various scents can be transmitted across two devices, making it the first of its kind. This breakthrough technology will herald a new research field in telecommunication technologies.
