Scented text messages patented in Germany

 

Published: 30 Apr 08 16:47 CET

 

Two German companies have patented technology for sending scented text messages on mobile phones.

 

Partners in the project, the Institute of Sensory Analysis and Marketing Consultancy in G?ttingen (ISI) and the Oberhausen-based specialist for interactive services Convisual, announced the patent for the smart card-sized chip on Tuesday.

 

?People will be able to send the smell of the beach and sunshine to their friends when they?re on vacation,? Convisual spokesperson Sandra Wiewiorra told The Local on Wednesday.

I always wanted to buy the x-ray glasses that were advertised in the back of comic books but I could never afford them:
