Currently, each device can only emit one smell at a time: "Right now it's the equivalent of music before MP3s," says augmented reality professor Adrian Cheok. "You had to record a song on a tape and physically give it someone." Dr. David Edwards a bio-medical engineer at Harvard has been working on a new way of communicating with you and your friends. The OPhone allows you to send messages of smells to your friends threw mixing and matching different smells from a database. The OPhone is in beta stage at the moment and only has up to 365 combinations of smells but it will have up to 7,000 smells by the end of next year. The OPhone also come with a free app that allows you to send the smells by email or text.Any normal can receive a text from the OPhone but another OPhone user can download a file and can smell what you are smelling.
