  • Searchable by words, images, sounds, etc.
  • Multimedia that “engages the five senses.”
  • Connected to other texts through hyperlinks and tags.
  • Allows readers to add their own links and tags.

    Yes ,I see a future in the virtual smells technology,the smells CANNED be hooked to any kind of interactive multimedia Music /Visual systems,I am sure the inventor from India has made this complex invention look so simple ,according to the inventor Sandeep Jaidka who secured USA patent 6152829 said he is optimistic and has every information related to Digital Smells till date.
    More and More players like Sony ,I-pod, need to come and his patent does not stand as an obstacle concludes the inventor.THE WORLD SHOULD ENJOY with best of the options.

    Best
