Scientists
have long known that smell is one of the most important senses we
have. By combining our sense of smell with colour and an ingenious
new piece of code for web browsers - they hope to have found a way
of transmitting smells across the internet.
Why
here?
You might be asking why is this been tried here on BBC Cumbria?
The answer is that the technology was developed here in the Lake
District by the Windermere new media design company, First Fish.
The BBC trials experimental technology across a range of internet
browsers and we'd like feedback from you.
Instructions
Click
on one of the coloured squares below. This will launch a new window.
Place
your thumb on the coloured square within the new window. Look at
the screen and concentrate on the colour for ten seconds.
Put
your thumb to your nose and inhale.
You
should smell something - if you're not sure what it was, highlight
the box beneath the coloured square to see what it was.
Then
let
us know the results of the experiment, and your thoughts on
how successful it was - or not!

does it work?
