What are tech companies even working on? More meme operating systems and phones without headphone jacks?
why don't you just hook up with someone so your experiences with women aren't in a digital format?
why don't you work on that OP? Oh wait, you're stupid...
Do you even know what smell is? You're basically asking for a Star Trek replicator.
the smelloscope from futurama is more accurate; Star Trek is gay
This will backfire on you quickly when Goatsy and Tub Girl come with .snif files, retard.
smell == particle
no particle no smell
kill yourself
...
you can't easily generate molecules from electricity unlike light
>why don't you just hook up with someone so your experiences with women aren't in a digital format?
Are you fucking retarded? Obviously the hardware would need to be refilled with chemicals that are combined to produce scents.
Boy imagine being on Sup Forums with this
What about an implant that stimulates nerves electrically to create a sensation of smell?
>implying you have the device to catch the smell
Light and sound are waves so they can easily be generated. Smell comes from particles so those can't realistically be generated.
Yeah, I have it in my closet... fucking retard. Do you purposely go around acting like an autistic chinese child? That's the point of the thread, why aren't tech companies working on that. Thanks for the bumps though.
They can easily be generated with refillable chemicals, the only tricky part would be developing technology that can take those particles and map them out so they can later be reproduced.
so when people fart
and you smell it
are you smelling tiny particles that have touched poop
gross
Just pop a bit of pussy juice in a gas chromatograph and you're good to go!
>touched poop
No, it IS poop. The poop particles physically interact with receptors in you nose.
Then again, maybe it's only stuff associated with poop. I wouldn't know.
>.snif file
Kek. This thread peaked early.
Artificial emission of smell stimulants is inherently problematic. You can turn off a screen or speaker easily or control the intensity of the output. With smell stimulants, once released they cannoth be toned down easily. Also imagine the abuse with people bombarding places with bad smell emission. I think it's just not viable for these reasons alone.
Another matter is how do you digitze smell exactly? We have multiple formats to encode color (such as RGB, HSV, CMYK etc.), same goes for audio (even easier because a single audio source is represented by just a wave). But is smell even understood well enough to be able to encode it into digital data? The only thing I could think of is a description of the physical substance which when dispersed in certain doses emits a certain smell sensation, but that's only indirect and the accuracy of reproduction should vary wildly due to a whole slew or different factors.

>image.snif
Eh, OP posted this yesterday as well as a crypto-foot thread
except to see this sort of thread a lot more from now on.
And how exactly do you plan on converting these physical particles into the correct smelling particles? Nuclear fusion isn't cheap.
