sorry but someone has to say it.... did shovenose come up with this one?
works on desktop too, woow
Wow, what bad timing on my part. I have a cold and can't smell a thing.
@AnthonySmith I think he is banned
how can you smell?! lol
It's an April Fools thingey.
Ahahahahaha.
It's not really a funny joke.
There were multiple companies back around 2000 who were working on scent creators that tethered to computer. So in essence the smells would be created locally. All sorts of target markets.
Unsure what happened to these companies, but not all of what they had was entirely vaporware
Today there are tons of pumped in smells. Visit your local mall and check the clothing stores. They are heavy adopters of smell generators, although those are highly limited --- not much variability in smells (can't pump cherry out today and woodsy dampness tomorrow in same unit).
@Pubcrawler
It'd require seperate units for the smells, because you can't virtualise and customise a smell on demand, unless ofcourse you were able to combine seperate chemicals to be released together... Sounds expensive, and stupid.
Impossibru.
@eastonch unless there was some sort of smell CSS

iSmell. and AromaJet were the 2 biggies.
True @eastnoch, expensive. But that doesn't stop tons of things and at some scale and some baseline most things can be shoe-horned into a limited range... Think, proximate, not exact.
Thanks @DomainBop.
Seems like companies continue the development of similar products to this day. Pretty good summary/history here:
