The OPhone technology, a device that lets you send messages smelling via mobile phone or tablet.
What would you think if you came a photo to WhatsApp with lentils that has prepared her mother and she could smell them; or mail the image of the bouquet of flowers he has bought his wife along with their scent; or watch on your phone a photo of her young daughter and perceive the smell of freshly bathed child.
All this is possible because with OPhone, a project whose development company working the Marbella Kibo Studios and aims to overcome technological and sensory allow remote communication barriers.
Behind this technology are David Edgar and Rachel Field, two professors from Harvard University and the Wyss Institute, who created the devices that now works Kibo, the first Spanish company that has ordered the product.
Manuel Linares, director of Kibo Studios, explains that OPhone consists of two terminals, loaded with cartridges containing essences, passed the smell that has made the author of the message, mixing offered a preset range.
10,000 range odors:
By the time the first version offers a range of 10,000 distinct scents (flowers, chocolate, sea air, fresh laundry, perfume?) but is working on a new version olfactory combinations exceeds 300,000.
The work of Kibo Studios, which shares investors OPhone, now lies, according to Linares, to “propose, contribute, suggest and investigate” to develop new business ideas and develop applications around this invention.
So The director and advancing ideas like projecting films with different smells in the scenes; cars to detect body odor and change the automotive environment depending on each conductor; or children’s books readers transmit the aromas of what they have.
Kibo Studios, which is an innovative company that has worked on the development of Google Glass, is very interested in the applications of this project in relation to autistic children.
Advertising can be a great ally in this future application. Perfumes and air fresheners companies could deliver ads highlighting their essences directly to the customer.
The applications are endless and it works the Marbella company, which has already launched other products such as “Martial Tribes”, the first social network of martial arts, or “Eyplas”, a platform of quality private lessons.
OPhone price around 150 euros when it’s released in 2016 and so far only be used with iPhone and iPad.
Technology advances trying to overcome their own barriers and seems to convey feelings is one of the new challenges. EFE
