Designer Kimberly Hu proposes an interesting idea. What if cellphones could emit smells uniquely tagged to each person in your contacts list? Does that make the experience more emotional? Her Nokia Scentsory concept explores just that. Made from a flexible thin LCD material that unfolds like a paper airplane, the Scentsory concept attempts to bridge the cold design of an electronic device by using odor as a conduit.
I still don't understand why I'd want to smell the person I'm talking to but there's one point in her design that's sorely ignored. HELLO, it folds into a paper airplane! How cool would it be to pass that around? Totally gives new meaning to, "can I check your phone out?"
