Japanese researchers have invented a display that can smell and can also be used to treat diseases
Recently, Professor Takamichi Nakamoto of Tokyo Institute of Technology in Japan has developed an “olfactory display” that can smell. According to reports, this kind of display needs to put the liquid as the source of fragrance into the micro-dispenser first, and then issue instructions through the computer to spray the liquid according to different combinations of targets, and use ultrasonic atomization to present the corresponding smell.
In principle, this technology can reproduce up to 185 different scents, covering most usage scenarios.
In terms of application scenarios, this technology cooperates with the characteristics of the image to emit odor, which enables it to add a lot of color to advertisements such as food and cosmetics.
At present, many companies have expressed interest in this olfactory display, but it is uncertain when it will be able to enter the market. (Source: Global Tech)
