Nokia Scentsory Phone

Now, it is just a very nice idea. It is always interesting to view
concept products. You never know which one will become the next big
thing.

The concept of Nokia Scentsory is quite cool actually. It is a mobile
communication device that works with the senses of smell, sight,
hearing and touch. If the concept goes into production, this phone
could truly revolutionize remote communication and interfacing.

It can also radiate colors, lighting, and temperature from the
caller’s environment. The dual-screen mobile has a LED touchpad,
speakers, hidden camera and temperature sensors. Nanotechnology has
played an important role in development of this new device.

Using highly sophisticated sensors, the electronic ‘nose’ samples the
odor of the caller’s environs and transmits this to the recipient
electronically. Kimberly Hu designs the Scentsory.

When the phone is in ‘flat mode’, the LED touchpad, two screens and
stereo speakers for audiovisual calls are accessible. In ‘open mode’,
two screens with a hidden camera and stereo speakers, interior scent
detectors, emitter and exterior temperature sensors are exposed. In
‘closed mode’, the phone’s slim profile suits traditional voice calls.
The LED screen on the lower folding surface alerts the user to
incoming calls.

It will take quite a while before the Scentsory will ever see the
consumer light of day. Until then, your cell phone conversations will
be entirely smell-free.
