What if instead of hearing a bell or feeling a vibration, you smelled a skunk whenever you got an email from an Ex? That would be more appropriate, no?
Well, Foundry, a research team based in the UK, is working to turn that smelly dream into a reality. Olly is a “web-connected smelly robot” that you can set up to emit scents when you receive emails, tweets, pings etc. Lavender scented retweets from Aunt Kris? Check.
Joining Olly is Molly, a device that you can similarly connect to your social networks that releases candy. Facebook messaging is no longer low carb.
Molly – turns your retweets into sweets from Olly Factory on Vimeo.
The devices are selling for $50 if Foundry reaches their $35,000 fundraising goal on Kickstarted. Head on over and buy/donate! I’m tired of my inbox all smelling the same.
