Send Flafour Like a send SMS or Email with oPhone

 The sophistication of smartphone technologies in the middle of a difficult situation leads us to connect . Sharing information remotely even to the other side of the world can be done only with a simple tweet , email , or whatsapp . However, some people assume that the number of such platforms offer only the content that can be enjoyed wide eyes and ears alone . They feel a sense of smell humans also need to enjoy the euphoria that exist . Then created oPhone , Bluetooth -enabled devices that can emit scent . Designed specifically to allow users to send each other odor as a text or email .

oPhone connected to the user's smartphone via Bluetooth . oNote ( term scent on oPhone ) can be sent as an email , tweet , or text message . This idea was created by Harvard Professor David Edwards and two design students of Michigan Technological University , Rachel Field and Amy Yin , who has set up a Vapor Communications , a company under Le Laboratorie ( Le Lab ) Paris , which bring the device to market .

The project began by reproducing a particular scent . Together with the " fragrance expert " , the team deconstructed the scent , for example, coffee or orange , then arrange the molecules in a particular order and at different ratios create so-called aromatic profile .

Four specially designed oChip , embedded oPhone to be able to translate these profiles into a scent . Combined chip is able to create thousands of different scents , which when emitted clouds will form around 15 cm in diameter that can last for 20 to 30 seconds .

In this case, the oPhone not the first device that is designed so that the fragrance can also pass over a distance . Maybe you 've heard Chat Perf accessories for the iPhone that attended last year . Chat Perf also allow aromas are sent via email and text message . However oPhone offer more sophisticated capabilities .

In order to find a market for oPhone , the team will target the people who pay serious attention to the scent , as a fan of coffee and perfume manufacturers . Of course, this could open up some interesting possibilities in the world of online shopping , where consumers will be able to smell or aroma blend of exotic new coffee from the comfort of their own homes .

Team Michigan is planning to release a beta version of oPhone the end of 2014 , before the release of the wider again in the coming year .
