<p>This chemical pack, attached to a phone, can transmit smell over the Internet — an example of how smart phones can go beyond audio and visual senses to engage other senses. There’s a limit after all to how much information you can absorb looking at a screen.</p>
<p>Now under development:</p>
<ul><li>Wearable technology to provide trading executives with real-time data 24 hours a day.</li>
<li>An advertising app for a restaurant that allows you to smell the food.</li>
<li>Technology that triggers smells in your room as a reminder to take medication</li>
<li>Sending hugs when you’re on the road to your children through pj’s and jackets!</li>
