A small comment on wording: I think this should be called "Electrical nose stimulation". In a medical context, "digital" tends to refer to fingers. I found out the hard way that a digital anal exam involves no electronics.

The upgrade from 8-bit to 16-but was particularly painful.

No HDR, thanks.

You mean picking my nose isn’t going to give me super powers?

> Or, as the researchers suggest, a mapping application—smell your way home.

This would be the perfect sensory augmentation for Andrew Quitmeyer's "Mark Your Territory" project: Pee to Check-In to Foursquare, using the Checkin Gradient to navigate, so you could smell your way to nearby locations where your friends most recently peed.

A stereo smelling device for dogs would facilitate Cross-Species Communication and Augmented Canine Reality!

Evolution of Olfactory sense remains one of the most stunning discoveries of modern genomics ;)

The Smell of Evolution

I don't follow. What's stunning about it? Doesn't it just mean that there is little evolutionary pressure or selection on the olfactory receptor genes? Not sure what the discovery is, or its significance.

Could this be used for a noise-free navigation aid for the blind?

You can already detect obstacles with your nose if you get close enough.

So why not combine this with another proximity sensor to alert presence of objects further away with your nose.

"Pinnochiometry"

with variable vibration, this will revolutionize and redefine "nose job"

I don't even have to get too close!

You mean a guide dog?

One step closer towards “augmented humans” - buy your upgrade so you can determine the direction of different smells.

FAANG: imagine you can smell ADS in the air

Looks like CyberGoth Jewelry!
