Nokia Scentory Phone
This Scentsory concept phone by Nokia uses the human senses of sight, sound, touch and even smell for a multi-sensory experience. It has the basic audiovisual features, but Scentsory could also detect, transmit and emit smells, as well as radiate colors, lighting, and temperature from the caller’s environment. It has a sort of electronic nose that works with highly sophisticated sensors. The nose samples the odor of the caller’s environment and transmits this to the recipient electronically. Apparently this works due to distinct genetic patterns that are associated with every odor, and it’s simply a matter of matching electrical harmonics with gene activity. The perception of a smell by electrical stimulation could be technologically induced.
The dual-screen mobile has an LED touchpad, speakers, a camera and temperature sensors.

Otto the sound enhancer
Check out this sound enhancer called Otto designed by Duncan Wilson with a collaboration with Manolis Kelaidis of IDE at the Royal College of Art.
We designed OTTO (Greek for ‘ear’); a device that makes hidden sounds audible. This is achieved via a thin polymer piezoelectric contact that senses weak vibrations and plays them as a sound through an integrated speaker. OTTO can be positioned on almost any surface through a combination of suction and magnets. By placing several units on different objects, one can select and create a new sonic experience and a form of ambient music appreciation, thereby utilising our space as a multidirectional audio platform.
