Is smellovision possible?
No longer a novelty, it’s a real, viable technology that you are going to start seeing more and more of. While we can all guess the use case of ‘entertainment’ I think you’ll be surprised that smell-o-vision is also currently being developed for use in training and therapy.
How does digital scent technology work?
Digital smell works by continuously feeding odors from vaporizing gel pellets into four air streams, one in each corner of the screen. These air streams are blown out parallel to the screen’s surface by fans, and varying the strength and direction of them spreads the scent to any given spot on the screen.
Can you smell through a computer?
Digital Transmission of Scents In a nascent area of olfactory research, scents are digitally transmitted via computer code that can be sent online or via smartphone app and reproduced at a kiosk or through a scent-emitting device.
Is it possible to digitize smell?
A digitized smell or chemically defined components mixture produced on a set formula for a given smell can be standardized. With the information on the smell and chemical components, digitization of the data can be done. unless superior brain functions on smell receptors and their signaling are digitized!

Is there a device that can smell?
An electronic nose is an electronic sensing device intended to detect odors or flavors. Since 1982, research has been conducted to develop technologies, commonly referred to as electronic noses, that could detect and recognize odors and flavors.
Who invented smellovision?
Mike Todd Jr.
The technique was created by Hans Laube and made its only appearance in the 1960 film Scent of Mystery, produced by Mike Todd Jr., son of film producer Mike Todd. The process injected 30 odors into a movie theater’s seats when triggered by the film’s soundtrack.
Who invented digital scent technology?
Hans Laube
From a system point of view, electronic devices called olfactometers and electronic noses sense, receive and transmit digital scent data to computer processors. The original concept was developed in the late 1950s by Hans Laube.
Why can’t we transfer smell?
Neuron endings from the olfactory organs detect the actual chemicals that “create the smell”. Impulses are relayed to the brain and smell is thusly perceived. Smells cannot be transmitted like a wave. In other words, we cannot transmit – or share – smells like we might share wireless fidelity radio signals (WiFi).
