Sony Comes Out with Scent Capturing Printer

Chinese designer Li Jingxuan has created a scent capturing printer for Sony as part of a student workshop sponsored by the company to identify innovative technical ideas. The printer actually uses an electronic nose sensor which detects and captures smells and then uses pattern recognition to reproduce them. It uses aroma-based inks on special postcard sized photo paper with a clear film. When the film is peeled back, the scent is released. 

Great for vacationers and foodies, the printer easily can fit in a purse or backpack. The company hasn't yet said when the scent printer will be available.
