Researchers unveiled AromaGen, an AI-powered system for general-purpose real-time smell transmission using a wearable device. In blind three-way forced-choice tests across 50 common foods and beverages, participants identified the AI-generated smell 71% of the time vs 33% for random guessing. Participants reported deeply emotional reactions, with one moved to tears by a honeymoon beach scent. Paper and code are open-source.
