Designer Amy Radcliffe has created a “smell camera” that turns photography into “scent-ography.” Based on technology known as “Headspace Capture,” and developed for the perfume industry, her device captures odors rather than images.
Radcliffe’s device is officially titled Madeleine and is described as being an “analogue odour camera.” The reference to a camera is a fitting one, as photographs are an obvious and essential way of recording and retaining memories, with specific moments in time forever captured for future generations to explore. This is a variation on that theme, just with a different sense being piqued.
