How long before another major milestone in technology is reached? I'm talking about the ability to send smell over the airwaves or place them on digital media.
Years ago the ability to put sound on various mediums was reached. Then visual images. Next, smell. Imagine the possibilities when that milestone is reached! Picture the scene! A breakfast with hot bacon, fresh bread, fried eggs and ham. Or wandering on the beach and the scent of salty air filling your nose. How about the aroma of perfume wafting through your living room as you watch a movie with people attending a dinner party? Or the smells while you watch the Food Channel?
Then again, what about wandering through a garbage dump? How about the decay of a rotting animal as you view the Outdoor Channel? The smell of a skunk as it crosses the road or the odor of a chemical plant during a high-speed chase scene?
The potential is limitless. How soon before our olfactory senses are part of the movie experience? What do you think? Five, ten, fifteen years? Or less? Smellevision will debut sometime, but who nose when?
