Preserved Topic: Smell the internet......new odors for download (Page 1 of 1)

I read a dutch magazine last and this stated that :"Some scientists from the Weizman-institute in israel has managed to code odors in math formulas. So now they could code these formulas in to the byte of an computer. Hence to spread odors via the internet....".

- So Netscape or MS has to invent "OML" or odor-markup-language Lol
- What about this future dialog

<question:> "I wish to make a new site and i want to make it smell as roses. But in Netscape 9.5 it always smells as burned rubber. How can i change it?"
<answer:>"In Netscape there is a little bug if you use the {ODOUR} tag. when you use the {odour =good; smells as Roses} in stead of
{odour= rose} it will be alright. Notice the not to use capitalized letters".

As far as i know it could be an hoax. But who knows.....
wonder what the forum would smell like? Sweat from al those hard working members? neh...



Await the up coming Rinswind site

Actually this is not a hoax. I have heard two or three reports on the radio and heard interviews from the scientist that are working on the project.

You would need a periferal attachment to your computer to make it work.

It will probably be two to trhee years before we see them although don't be surprised if some people start to have them in the next year.

This has to be the silliest thing I've ever heard. Hyperbole, you cannot say that so seriously, you must crack wise. Are you a robot?

I for one will not be buying the aroma peripheral in the next 3 years. There I've said it and I'll stand by it, unless it's USB then I'll consider it when they get cheaper.

ya'll are spoiled. I don't even have a USB port on my puter. <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/biggrin.gif">

Babamba, surely you recognize sarcasm when you smell it.

HAHAHAHA! Rancid just HAD to read a thread with this title...

Well, I'm going back to finish my breakfast. A nice fresh bowl of damp dirt.

...swept out through the cracks beneath the door...

I agree with you that it is a silly idea. I thought so at the time I first heard it. But, people are actually working on it and think they can make a lot of money selling the idea on the internet.

ooh... this is weird... anybody got any web link on it yet??? very interesting.... although i would probbably hold out until it becomse as common to a computer as a monitor.

Im afraid of the people who are going to use this for evil. Its like spliting the atom.

Yeah, can't wait for the IE-specific <bgsmell> tag, huh?

I can't believe the money and effort spent on these kinds of technology...

Although, I'll admit, I'd be the first to set up an "Identify this Smell" contest page on my site.

This is truly sick!

and I know something about it.

I read about the technology first from an israeli company named SenseIt Technologies that was recently bought by Digiscent http://www.digiscents.com/

The friendly people at Digiscent now gives you....iSmell!

more info from foxnews http://www.foxnews.com/vtech/050400/smell.sml

This is very very scary...

If you can't convince, confuse!

Yeah, thats all I need....

I mouseover an image and a bunch of crap comes spraying out of my computer.

Wonderful.

"Hi there. My name is Rancid. Wanna smell my site?"

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!

Oh Lord, this is too much!

...swept out through the cracks beneath the door...

:bounces with his head against his screen from laughing:

"Did you see the new 'celebrety parfum page'already?"
"The New Jerry Springer Show: My ex smells bad"
lol

WOOOHOOO! We rock!
This research / development got quite a lot of cover in newspapers here some time ago. I personally think its a nice idea but will take some time to be made usable, and will probably cost quite a bit right at first. The success in coding odors is a great achievement nevertheless. <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">
