The Japanese have
been there, done that. However, US-based TriSenx seems to be enjoying the sweet smell of success with its personal olfactory device. UK broadband provider Telewest is apparently already testing ScentMail to let people send aromatic emails. Meanwhile, Utah-based Dimension's Edge is ready to release a new virtual basketball game which, when hooked to a Scent Dome, will reward players with whiffs of popcorn or hot dogs when points are scored. Moms will probably be more interested in a software package that lets kids learn the alphabet through scent recognition, such as a whiff of apple for the letter A. If Scent Dome takes off, we're expecting Internet advertisers and spammers to smell this a mile away.

Correction! The Japanese were not first to produce scents from a PC nor a marketable PC aroma diffuser, both of those honors goes to TriSenx! Before The Japanese, Digiscents, Aroma Jet,etc..In fact it was early 1999 that trisenx demonstarted for WJCL TV (News) in Savannah Georgia both smell and taste via a PC. Thank You.
