A university team has developed a machine that can fire coloured, scented bubbles at users to deliver notifications, adverts or even teach maths
Researchers are claiming to have invented a new form of human/computer interaction after developing a machine that can fill bubbles with different smells and project images on to them.
The team at Bristol University describe SensaBubble as a “chrono-sensory mid-air display system” – a computer-controlled bubble cannon that fills soap bubbles with a particular scent and then fires them at a user, projecting a colour or display on to them in mid-air.
When the bubbles burst they release their scent which, combined with their size and colour, can display anything from a logo to a notification, email alert or an advert.
Wow, one more item added in my wish list.
