City University London explores multi-sensory human communication via mobile
This chemical pack, attached to a phone, can transmit smell over the Internet – an example of how smart phones can go beyond audio and visual senses to engage other senses.
Now under development:
- Wearable technology to provide trading executives with real-time data 24 hours a day.
- An advertising app for a restaurant that allows you to smell the food.
- Technology that triggers smells in your room as a reminder to take medication
- Sending hugs to your children when you’re on the road through pj’s and jackets!
There’s a limit after all to how much information you can absorb looking at a screen.
