Scent Teleportation : We Did It! by Alex Wiltschko
Osmo's Scent Teleportation captures a smell in one place, digitizes its molecules, and diffuses it in another. Using GCMS, AI, and Formulation Robots, they compare original and recreated scents, aiming for high similarity. They're refining processes, opening demos soon, and working towards easy scent sharing like photos or songs.
- Scent Teleportation is a technology developed by Osmo that captures a smell in one place and diffuses it in another.
- The process involves digitizing and reconstituting the molecules that make up a scent, using modern software and artificial intelligence.
- The scent is analyzed using a GCMS machine, which identifies the raw data and uploads it to a cloud, creating a coordinate on the Principle Odor Map.
- A formula is sent to a Formulation Robot, which mixes different scents to replicate the sample.
- The goal is to achieve a high degree of similarity between the original sample and the recreated scent.
- Osmo is refining its processes through monthly Scent Teleportation trials and will soon open select demos to the public.
