“Wish you were here.” This is a phrase that vacationers often write on postcards to friends and family. When people are enjoying themselves on holiday, they want to share their experiences with others. Now, a new postcard design may make sharing scents as well as sights a possibility.
Li Jingxuan, a student from Donghua University and a food lover, has designed a food printer. This device can capture not only a photo of food but also its aroma. The food printer uses a smell extractor to collect the smell of a meal. Once the device copies the smell by mixing fragrant inks, it prints the smell on a postcard. That's good news for people who want to share their restaurant experiences abroad with people back home. Imagine reading a postcard and having the smell of a delicious meal from Italy rise to your nose. The fun doesn't have to stop there, though. People could send other scents, such as perfume or flowers. Just watch out for joking friends who send you a picture with the smell of their dirty socks!
「但願你在這裡。」這是度假的人經常在明信片上寫給朋友與家人的措辭。當人們享受假期時，他們想要與別人分享他們的體驗。現在，有一種新的明信片設計也許能讓分享氣味及景色成為可能。
李靖軒是上海東華大學的學生，也是一位美食愛好者，她設計出一種食物印表機。這個裝置可以捕捉的不只是食物的照片，還有食物的香味。這種食物印表機利用一個氣味擷取器來收集餐點的味道。一旦這個裝置藉由混有香味的墨水複製出味道後，就將氣味印到明信片上。這對想要與家鄉的人分享國外餐廳用餐經驗的人來說是個好消息。想像一下看著明信片時，有一股來自義大利美味料理的味道撲鼻而來。不過樂趣還不止於此。人們可以寄送其他的味道，像是香水或是花朵的味道。只要小心愛開玩笑的朋友寄給你一張有他們髒襪子味道的照片！
