Scratch and Sniff coming soon

Did you ever want to smell what it was like in that landscape photo?
or seeing a picture of bacon cooking can smell that too?

Well, now when you are surfing on your smartwatch maybe, just maybe in the near future you can have you cookie picture and smell it too

I really can't wrap my head around the science of something like this. I know that years ago a bunch of patents were also filed for the same sort of technology in televisions, but they never managed to make it to production.

That stinks
or, maybe not.

The perfume companies will be much happy to advertise on Nikon watches.

Hustler Magazine first did it back in 1977. Not from a watch but from the magazine itself. If you are interested Amazon, yep they sell anything, has this for sale. Hustler Magazine: September 1993 -- Scratch 'n' Sniff Centerfold!: Larry Flynt: Amazon.com: Books

Hopefully Nikon's technology will be a bit more refined than Hustlers was.

If this scratch 'n sniff is anything like what they stick in magazines etc. they might as well not bother, it usually stinks to high heaven and goes straight into the kitchen trash can! I can't throw it away fast enough.
