Couple of interesting ideas I just thought I like to add in my blog, just because they "used to be" in my ex and my mind only until now that I have found them being tackled (stolen) by others:)
Imagine; If we could digitize odors, then we can first sniff the Pizza we are going to oder online, and then if liked it, we oder it! The media and movie industry will benefit the most from this idea as we can bring the virtual smells right into the noses of audiances! All we should do it to conduct two sets of experiments:
1- Detector: expose some very sensitive materials to different odors and measure their response in term of their properties such as resistance, capacitance, etc. I am not too much into materials, but I would unsuprisingly suggest to start with CarboNano Tubes. There is a link here.
2- Smeller: Find a good (organic) material which can give out the smells corresponding to the electrical signals received. This phase sounds to be more difficult than the above task, but there is no doubt if we understand the chemistry underling the "smells", we certainly can simulate them and copy them on a chip. Such a device can be placed close to the nose and make a virtual smells of the food you are watching on TV ads!
Think! Would you still feel like changing the channel to skip the ads cutting your favorate TV show if you know that there are some lummy foods ads?!
I personally do not like this kind of life, just imagine what is the next step, some how give to you the feeling of being full, after some sort of thing like this and just have a pill instead of all the "REAL" joy of eating,....I like to be human not a character on net:((
ReplyDeleteNo Zizi! It is not a pill or anything similar. Besides, I can still enjoy taking a pill which totally taste the same as a real food! You argue the food looks nicer and that contributes to a "joy"? NP! We can shape the pills to look axactly like the real food.
ReplyDeletePlus, what I sugggest is not really a so-called "artificial fake smell". It is just copying what makes up a smell and try to regenerate it! The same as what Wright brothers did: Copying what made the flight possible in birds. :)

ReplyDeleteStill I do not like my TV smells:(
ReplyDeleteBTW, I have a video for HPC which has lots of these kinds of idea, I will aske my instructor for permission to share it with you. But I do not promise;)
Haha. "your idea"?
ReplyDeleteMy memory offers something different.
aighty! I gave you the honor too.
ReplyDeleteBut Who initiated the idea first? I thought it was mine and then you took it out from my mouth and hesitantly extend it a little bit.
No, I remember telling it to you before hand.
