New Delhi: After developing a phone that gives off scent, Harvard professor David Edwards has brought his olfactory-focused products to include eBooks, songs, and clothing.

These products, named 'oBooks' and 'oSongs,' pair with Edwards' Vapor Communications' oPhone contraption which contains all the scent chips meant to be mixed until it matches the specific scent indicated by the files.

An Engadget report notes that the oBook's images come with 'scent tags' that give off specific scent, for example-fruits or flowers, as you read along. These tags are connected to the oPhone and are activated when you are accessing the files on a connected smart device. oSongs give off scents which are triggered with their melody as they play.

The catch here is that you can't purchase any of these scent emitting products just yet as they are currently museum exhibits. The first oBook is called Goldilocks and the Three Bears: The Smelly Version, and it will be exhibited at the Museum of the Moving Image in New York starting April 18. The first oSong, on the other hand, was composed by Canadian-Hungarian composer Dániel Péter Biró and will be exhibited at Le Laboratoire Cambridge on April 17.

However, the only scent emitting product up for grabs is the company's first oClothing item, the $14 oBracelet that has an embedded scent chip that can last for weeks.

What's your reaction?
