oPhone --- Follow your nose into the realm of smell messaging… スマートフォンで合成した香りを出すことができる oPhone

350種類もの匂い(香り)を合成し、それをスマートフォンのアプリと連動して出力することができる装置 oPhone。五感を拡張するARの「嗅覚」にあたる部分を実現する数少ない技術だ。






Experimental Parisian outfit Le Laboratoire has created the oPhone, a handheld device that allows a user to combine aromas and send their composition as a message. Upon arriving at another user’s device, this message will recreate the odor for for the recipient to smell. Visitors to the Wired Conference in October 2013 had the opportunity to try out the oPhone, which can currently create over 350 different aromas.
