Scent of Conversation

This is a project made in collaboration – Oryan Inbar & Chang Liu.

Scent of Conversation is a box meant to act as a interactive centerpiece of any meeting table, the device analyzes words said by people around it and releases different scents depending on the topics of the conversation.

Different scents are generated from different perfume bottles in the device, with the goal of reflecting the conversation feel and also influencing by doing that.

Process:

We use Alchemy API to detect topics of conversation through analyzing keywords, entity and sentiment.
We use Node.js and physical library for Adruino to send different commands to a motor in order to squeeze on different perfume sprays. In this prototype we only use one perfume bottle in one box, a final product would be modular and allow connecting a few of this prototype together to have a more complete object.
