Smell Synth
“When you’re given a smell, it can suddenly take you to a part of your life which is very vivid in the mind,” encapsulates the essence of "Smell Synth," a device that redefines the boundaries of sensory engagement within digital and physical spaces. This creation was born out of the sensory deprivation experienced during the global lockdown and aimed to bridge the gap between the tangible and virtual worlds, transforming how we interact with technology and art.

"Smell Synth" can house a collection of up to 16 curated scents, ranging from the nostalgic aroma of a loved one’s perfume to the comforting essence of home candles. This device is not just an accessory but a portal to immersive experiences, capable of infusing exhibition spaces, interactive installations, or even everyday technology interactions with the profound depth of olfactory sensations. Imagine a video call with a distant relative not just seen or heard, but deeply felt through the familiar fragrance they wear, or walking into an art exhibit that doesn’t just captivate your eyes and ears but envelops you in the multi-sensory story of each piece.
