SCENT SOFTWARE
Idaho Computing has taken multimedia one sense further, by developing
a PC add-in board that uses chemicals to generate scents on your
computer. The $199 ScentMaster can produce 36 distinctive smells,
such as "roses," "new car," "roasted coffee," and "dead animal in
wall." The scent board functions in much the same way a sound card
does, except, instead of playing sounds, ScentMaster mixes three
chemicals (primary scents) to produce the various aromas which are
wafted into the atmosphere via a small spray-emitter module.
Additional scent software is available and a Macintosh version is
planned by the end of the year. For more information, send e-mail to
idaho@netaxis.com. (Internet World, April '95 p.16)
