Smell Detector CIA_14
In the second unit of product design, we were presented a challenge to create a device that would recognize smell. This device would help people who are searching for the origin of a smell.
I created a two-piece device: Glasses to display smell density and a phone-like machine to detect and document smell.
The handheld device has vents on its back that allow the input of air; the air enables the machine to process smell and identify smell density of the environment around the user. The cord (represented by white string) delivers the display to the glasses, where smell density is shown in the same way as heat detectors show heat—through different shades.
Furthermore, the handheld device has another function: one can document a smell on it (associating it with a location) and search a smell on it, if it was already documented. This is shown on the screen of the model device.
