The Smell-Master is Real: ScenTrak by Cogniscent
January 23rd, 2008 by BallerHouse
Remember the Smell-Master from the movie Richie Rich? When the movie debuted in 1994, the concept was just a dream. Now, inventor Joel White and his Massachusetts-based company, Cogniscent, have made it a reality.
The Cogniscent ScenTrak is a hand-held device that acts as an artificial nose by using a smear of chemically-treated human DNA to sense multiple odors. The ScenTrak was developed for industrial settings and lights up when it senses certain hazardous chemicals and toxins. At a market price of less than $5,000, you could see it making its way into the home soon.
