Recently, Professor Takamichi Nakamoto of Tokyo Institute of Technology in Japan has developed an "olfactory display" that can smell the smell. According to reports, this display needs to first put the liquid as a source of fragrance into the micro distributor, and then issue instructions through the computer, spray the liquid according to different combinations of the target, and use ultrasonic atomization to present the corresponding odor.
In principle, this technology can reproduce up to 185 different scents, covering most of the use cases.
In the application scenario, the technology cooperates with the odor-emitting characteristics of the image, so that it can add a lot of color to the advertisements such as food and cosmetics.
In addition to entertainment uses such as advertising, this technology will also make achievements in the medical field.
The technology can provide doctors with a computer-controlled, absolutely accurate "standard odor", which greatly reduces the uncertainty of smell-related diseases in the diagnosis and improves the accuracy and efficiency of examination.
At present, a number of companies have expressed interest in this olfactory display, but it is uncertain when it will be able to go to market.
