   Annual idea

   

   McGroarty, Feb 19th, 2004 @ 10:05am

   
   

   I go to GDC (Game Developers Conference) most years. There's been somebody pitching the smell thing in some form just about every year. Sometimes it's flyers, sometimes it's Digiscents.
   
   I liked Digiscents the best... they had two perky cute girls dressed in skunkette costumes, so at least they brought something to the show.

   This is supposed to be a new idea? Search for "smellovision" on Google.

   Real Aroma

   It wasn't "real smell" it was "Real Aroma" and the fake product was "smell you/smell me". http://web.archive.org/web/*/realaroma.com for a look at the old pages.... With the RealAroma Drive(TM), and RATML(SM) (Real Aroma Text Markup Language) you can share smells in real time, over the Internet, with olfactory buddies all over the globe....SmellU SmellMe(R) Aroma Conferencing software. RealTyme(TM) Smell Encoder (With Improved VacuuAction(C)) The improved VacuuAction(TM) cuts down on ambient smells.

   The DigiScents Virus...

   

   Precision Blogger, Feb 19th, 2004 @ 3:13pm

   
   

   After the DigiScents Peripheral becomes wildly popular, I expect to see a news story like this:
   
   The entire world woke up to fecal (and other) smells today, as the Smell Virus infected another 200,000,000 machines. This virus causes the DigiScents peripheral to emit odors that cannot properly be described in a family newspaper. The virus takes advantage of a weakness in Internet explorer (all versions 5 and 6), and so far Microsoft has not been able to find a patch. A Microsoft spokesperson suggested that everyone upgrade to a beta version of Longhorn as soon as that venerable product gets out of alpha testing ...

   No Subject Given

   I still think this technology has potential, if only for selling perfume over the net, but not at the price indicated.

   Dear Alex,
   If you want me to seriously answer your sincere inquiry, please read the details on our Internet site first , and then ask me your questions again. If you then still vexed, I would gladly get into a more involved exchange.
   Also. please also let me know whom you represent, and why you... if you did your homework, would even attempt to compare the patent number 6152829 and yeah, even..."Digiscents" with our developments. No similarities except human olfactory receptors and the potential to transmit critical data electronically are involved. We develop precision high-end therapeutic systems, and do not develop time wasting and so-very-trite game accessories, and/or internet aroma Scrach-And-Sniff synthesizer systems. :-)
   Maybe you should study THE CONCEPTS OF "Multisensory" systems and "Aromatherapy" and how they are used worldwide for legitimate healing purposes. Even the US government provides funding for related research.. There is substantial scientific evidence supporting this. (Harvard has done studies) Mainstream facilities adopting multisensory therapies include schools, nursing homes, developmental centers, mental health facilities, autism programs, early childhood programs, day treatment programs (for both children and adults), group homes, rehabilitation centers, hospices, and many more.
   If you are still interested, then ask to participate financially.
