Why can’t we record scent

1.05K viewsOtherTechnology

We have invented devices to record what we can see, and devices to record what we can hear.

Why haven’t we invented something to record what we can smell?

How would this work if we did?

\[When I am travelling I really wish I could record the way things smell, because smell is so strongly evocative of memories and sensations.\]

Fascinating question! Our sense of smell is incredibly complex, involving a multitude of chemical compounds. Recording it isn’t just about capturing these molecules but replicating them perfectly—and that’s immensely challenging with current technology. But, who knows? The future holds amazing possibilities for sensory experiences beyond imagination. Keep wondering!
