High-Tech Bubble Technology has Wide Range of Uses

Bristol University scientists have developed a bubble technology called, The SensaBubble. Creativity of researchers lies in the bubbles ejecting from the machine as they either project images or releases scent upon bursting.

Professor Sriram Subramanian from the university termed the technology as a 'chrono-sensory mid-air display system'. As per him, there is a wide applicability of the machine. Some of the suggestions given by Subramanian include usage of bubbles having food scents by bakery chains to attract customers.

The system could also act as short-term notification system, like a bubble popping every hour around your office to notify you about emails and other important office work. Usage of different scents to signify mails of specific persons denoted particular fragrance.

Subramanian said The SensaBubble's asset lies in its ability to track and project brief messages on bubbles including scents. There are endless ideas that can be shaped with the help of the machine, said Subramanian. He and his team want to let people feel many such experiences.

"SensaBubble is a chrono-sensory mid-air display system that generates scented bubbles to deliver information to people using different senses", affirmed Subramanian. The technology would also prove great for gaming and education.

Subramanian said their study is the first one to explore how smell power can be used to enhance and last longer in a visual object like a soap bubble. Main aim behind the machine was to explore 'chromo sensory experiences'.

Sensabubble that has a number of uses will be presented at the Association for Computing Machinery's Computer Human Interaction conference in Toronto, Canada, going to begin on April 26, Saturday.
