A Japanese website has given the phrase "follow your nose" a whole new meaning with an interactive map that lets users describe smells they have encountered.
— From Follow your nose on web scent map at BBC News. You can see the website at nioibu.com (in Japanese), or listen to a story about it at NPR.
Thank you for this. Very interesting, indeed. I look forward to see what might happen with new programs that allow for scent, as well. Allergy alerts? What about dusting involvements of computer parts….time will tell.
I'd love to see a site like that in English!
I agree. However, if the technology is developed, we might just get it!
