Imagine this: you're on a video call with a friend, and not only can you see and hear them, but you can also smell the cookies they just baked. It sounds futuristic, but scientists are working on making it a reality.
Researchers are developing technology that could allow your phone to release specific scents. Using cartridges filled with different fragrance components, the phone would mix tiny amounts to recreate the desired smell, which would then be released through a small vent.
While this opens exciting possibilities, it could also lead to some mischievous fun—especially if your friends enjoy pulling pranks!
