Mobile Fragrance Communication Service

You must be downloading a lot of things onto mobile phones these days, and now you can even download smells. 😀 isn’t interesting to you. This week, NTT Communications Corp. will test a mobile version of the Fragrance Communication service it offers to fixed-line customers.

Mobile users can download “fragrance playlists” from company NTT DoCoMo Inc. i-mode mobile Website. Via the phone’s infrared port, the fragrance data is sent to a special device that mixes various scents to get the odor the user selected. Users also get to watch and listen to audio/visual content associated with the smell.

NTT says it’s looking for applications that combine fragrances with ringtones, music, and horoscopes.
