Aroma Travel Pillow: Life preserver for your sense of smell
Is this woman, A: Listening to music from a butterflies wings that she crushed? B: The recipient of an inflatible ear transplant? or C: Wearing a life preserver on her neck? The answer is none of the above. It’s the Aroma Travel Pillow, which will let you snooze and at the same time, mask your funky BO from your delicate nose, by using aromatherapy oils.

What better way to relax then to have youir fellow travelers point and make dumbo jokes. When deflated, it’s light and compact, when inflated it’s odd and an attention grabber. It will cost you $20.

Aroma USB protects you from your own BO
Aromatherapy isn’t a new concept. USB-powered diffusers have been around for awhile. But the Aroma USB makes no bones about the fact that it knows something funky is going on in your immediate area, and like a glade plug in, it wants to help.

Maybe it’s that moldy half-eaten bag of cheetos you call a mousepad. More likely it’s your own BO, mixed with a subtle hint of Hot Pockets. The device has a scented fragrance strip that doles out pleasant smelling air when the air around you gets so bad that it threatens to attract the affections of Pepe LePew. A refill will last up to about a week. The noses around you will thank you.

Scented candles that smell like cool things

Scented candles that smell like cool things
We all know that the ladies like candles that have smells like Gentle sea breeze or tropical mountain mist and the like. That’s great for them, but no real man wants to smell such girlly things. What if a company made candles that smelled like cool things that men can appreciate. That’s just what Hotwicks scented candles are all about. You won’t find any flowery potpourri scents here. Instead they offer scents like beer, campfire, grass (your lawn, not your dime bag), new car, pancake, pigskin, stripper, popcorn, and yes even urinal cake.

You can have some great fun with these and create an entire atmosphere just by combining the right ones. Combine beer with urinal cake and stripper, for an olfactory trip to a seedy strip club. Take away the urinal cake candle and the club just got classier. These candles will cost you $9.

KissMe:Bad breath detector
Is your own breath so bad that you pass out when you exhale? Can you walk through a field of fireflys at night and watch them all dim out and die as you breath on by? The dog won’t even kiss you? Maybe you should do some tests before going out on an important date, otherwise the first date will be your last.

The Kiss Me is for you. It’s a “Personal Breath Odor Detector” that measures how bad your breath stinks. There are 5 LED lights that indicate how good or bad you stink. It can go from “kissable” to “deadly”. At $19 why wouldn’t you want to try it. The way things are right now, your breath is likely to set the smoke detector off.

Arologic wireless scenting solution

Arologic wireless scenting solution
We’ve seen countless wirelessly-enabled gadgets and devices, so it’s really no surprise that someone would come up with a wireless solution that zaps foul aromas so you don’t have to go near them. Air Aroma’s Arologic claims to be the world’s first wireless scenting device and it will allow you to control a network of scent diffusers remotely.

Inside of multiple “scent zones,” scenters can “activate a scent, vary the intensity or even change the aroma.” So, what we have here is basically a high-tech perfume dispenser. No pricing information just yet, but Arologic should be available in most of the firm’s diffusers in Q3. The image looks like a bunch of colorful little bullets that could easily kill you, but their colorful nature would make it a fun party for the guy doing your autopsy.

Breeza 4-stage deodorizing toilet seat

Breeza 4-stage deodorizing toilet seat
At long last a new development in toilet seat technology. Sure, there are a number of products that fight odors in the modern outhouse that we call the bathroom, but most of those are sprays that smell almost as offensive as the bomb you just inflicted on the citizens of toilet-town. This solution is built right into seat.

Once you plump your butt cheeks down onto the toilet seat and get ready to play bombs away, it knows what you’re about to do and it will begin the decontamination deodorization process that captures odors, purifies and freshens the air. The mysterious process includes fans, filters and fragranced vents. If your bomb bay doors don’t like the cold, there’s a heated version available. No need to wear a Haz-Mat suit ever again when entering your throne-room/library.

Nokia Scentsory concept phone is multi-sensory

Posted in Concepts by Conner Flynn on February 7th, 2008

Nokia Scentsory concept phoneThis concept phone by Nokia is being called the Scentsory and it’s a fascinating device. It uses the human senses of sight, sound, touch and even smell for a multi-sensory experience. If this concept ever sees the light of day, it could revolutionize remote communication and interfacing. The dual-screen mobile has an LED touchpad, speakers, a camera and temperature sensors.

It has the basic audiovisual features, but Scentsory could also detect, transmit and emit smells, as well as radiate colors, lighting, and temperature from the caller’s environment. It has a sort of electronic nose that works with highly sophisticated sensors. The nose samples the odor of the caller’s environment and transmits this to the recipient electronically. Apparently this works due to distinct genetic patterns that are associated with every odor, and it’s simply a matter of matching electrical harmonics with gene activity. The perception of a smell by electrical stimulation could be technologically induced.
