AROMA GUIDE is a wearable navigation device dominated by smell. It can not only awaken the senses synchronously through aroma audio in museum scenes, solve the pain points of "distracting and easy to forget" in traditional navigation, but also extend to VR/virtual reality, injecting a new dimension into immersive interactive experience. Modular foldable design, comfortable to wear, suitable for real venues and virtual scenes, providing more possibilities for future sensory interaction.

It was my idea when I was watching the exhibition. At that time, I only looked at the contents of the navigator or audio, but I didn't pay much attention to the exhibits themselves. I didn't leave any impression after I came out. I thought, the sense of smell is not the most reminiscent, it is better to be bold, let the sense of smell as the main body of the media guide, maybe the experience will be different, so there is this small work, more ideal concept.

The unique memory-enhancing capabilities of Aroma, combined with intuitive audio guidance, redefine the museum's immersive experience. As a conceptual design, it accurately solves the core pain points of modern museum visits-visitors are easily distracted and exhibits have low memory retention rate. Its innovative intelligent fragrance trigger system will automatically activate customized fragrance and commentary audio when visitors approach the exhibits.

The device features an ergonomic, modular, foldable design with an integrated dual fragrance-battery compartment and open-ear speakers to ensure a comfortable and smooth experience throughout the visit. It supports a variety of navigation modes and fragrance intensity adjustment, and can provide personalized experience for different users. At the same time, the form of the on-site fragrance supply station and venue integrated service system can also be extended to the game or virtual field.

Glasses module reference music glasses made of open ear speakers.

The nose pads are provided with double fragrance vents.

Two integrated pipe wires are connected to the neck hanging module to realize odor and power transmission.
When approaching exhibits, audio commentary and exclusive proportional fragrance will be triggered simultaneously.

The contact position between the neck hanging module and the neck refers to the mesh material of Airpods Max.

The two magnetic structures on the inner side of the neck can be firmly adsorbed with the outer side of the temple to realize compact folding storage of the equipment.

Device magnetic folding form.

Double fragrance-battery compartment integrates 500-800mAh battery and replaceable fragrance wax beads, and uses independent heating to realize customized fragrance blending. It is connected with the neck hanging module through the magnetic suction interface to supply power to the glasses speaker. The heated smell is delivered to the precise nose pad by the air supply of the neck hanging device.
For museum scenes, it can meet the needs of long-term use: after the wax beads are exhausted, they can be quickly replaced at the in-field supply station.

Equipped with two fragrance battery compartments, half of which are batteries.

The other half is odor wax beads, which form different odors by heating different basic tastes and different heating ratios.
