They develop technology that sends food smells between AI-powered devices connected to the internet.

Researchers from Ohio State University and the Zhejiang Laboratory have developed an experimental technology capable of transmitting food odors between internet-connected devices using artificial intelligence. The system utilizes AI to detect specific scents, opening the possibility that aromas, such as coffee, could be integrated into video calls in the near future.

The development represents a novel intersection of artificial intelligence and sensory communication hardware. By bridging the gap between digital interaction and olfactory transmission, the experimental system points toward more immersive remote communication experiences.
