SMELLIT Stinks Up Your Home Theater

Does watching TV leave your sense of smell feeling neglected? Or perhaps your own couch potato-induced stank isn’t satisfactory enough for a truly immersive TV watching experience.  If you’re nodding “yes,” hope that designer Nuno Teixeira’s SMELLIT concept finds a way to market. The device uses DVD information to trigger one of its 118 aroma cartridges and wafts them out with a fan, though we know nothing about the full range of intended smells. From the pictures, it seems Teixeira plans the obvious “popcorn” scent, but what about more vile olfactory offerings? Seriously, though, the real challenge here will be getting movie studios to jump on board and embed the technology in their discs. “It’ll funkify your living room” probably isn’t the most enticing angle for marketing.
