SCENT LAB

Let’s collect our memory with scent

There will be many precious photo memories in your life, but as digital photos increase, people may forget to recall them. My design will help people to organize photos effectively and select their precious memories by themselves. Based on the findings that physical feeing can encourage or attract people to organize their photos and sensory can evoke people’s memory, I would like to use those elements in my design to increase the interaction between people and photos, making this process more interesting and meaningful. This design will use scensory to help people effectively record their life and recalls the previous days when ever they want.
