Soon, send scented messages from your cell

Institute of Sensory Analysis and Marketing Consultancy in Göttingen (ISI) and the Oberhausen-based specialist for interactive services Convisual, announced the patent for the smart card-sized chip on Tuesday.  So, now soon, you would be able to send not just SMS but also some scents.

The customers would have 100 prefabricated scents to choose from.  These scents could now accompany the MMS and SMS.  This chip has been in development for 8 years.

What this means is something interesting – that Chemical structure is created from electrical impulses.  Now, that sounds very interesting.  It is something akin to delibrately changing the matter into energy and then back into matter.

What do you think?  Will you be sending some of these scents messages?  What would you use it for and most importantly, what scent would you be want?
