Physical interaction design DH2400

Personally I am a big proponent of applying ambient displays to cope with the limited attention span that humans have to deal with. The Olly project found on Kickstarter therefore got me interested right away.

Olly is an Arduino based system that can provide you with notifications by emitting a scent. Some scents are known to be strongly linked to emotions and because the system allows the user to determine what smell will be spread one can easily use for example the perfume of a loved one for a Twitter notification from that person. Olly is stackable and therefore different scents can be used for different notifications.
