Google Nose: online smell transfer service (video)

A person has three main organs of perception of the environment: eyes, ears and nose. During use

only the first two are involved in the Internet, so Google developers decided to correct this glaring fact by introducing the serviceNosetaking the search engine experience to a whole new level.

Now in the search results, which usuallyare displayed on the right, an item will appear that allows you to smell how it smells, for example, Barolo wine or the hair of a wet maiden dog. For these purposes, as many as 15 million aromabytes were collected and digitized (by the way, it's time to get acquainted with the new unit of measurement of the stored olfactory information). It should be noted that it will be possible to sniff in the Google mapping service, so it will not be difficult to navigate.

Google hasn't forgotten about Android devices,announcing for them a new type of screen, SMELLCD™ 1.8+, capable of emitting odors and at the same time filtering out pungent and unpleasant odors. True, I didn’t understand one thing: doesn’t this mean that computers already have such screens, since nothing like this was said?

The representatives did not say anything about the start date of the Google Nose service, filling their mouth with water, but you can already try the beta version. Finally, we recommend watching the video (there are Russian subtitles there!).
