We've seen wirelessly-enabled
fish tanks,
gardens and even
sprinkler systems, so it's about time we saw a solution to blast out aromas in less-than-pleasant areas without having to wander in there with our poor nostrils exposed. Air Aroma's Arologic claims to be the world's first wireless scenting contraption, giving owners the ability to control a network of scent diffusers remotely. Within multiple "scent zones," scenters (that's what the cool kids are calling 'em these days) can "activate a scent, vary the intensity or even change the aroma." Regrettably, there's no pricing information to mull over just yet, but Arologic should be available in most of the firm's diffusers sometime in Q3.

Whats the point? Kick down the door to the bathroom, roll one of these suckers in and then remotely detonate it?
The open window, and light a match method has worked wonders for years.

They had these when I was a kid. No wires or nothin'. You just had to light the wick.

I just farted, so I have a pretty good scent zone of my own going on over here.

You've GOT to be kidding me. Has anyone EVER thought to themselves "Boy, it sure would be nice if I could control my room aroma thing's level of intensity remotely via my computer"?? I can guarantee a negative on that.
How do companies trick themselves into believing that products like this are actually worthwhile?

No, us cool kids do not call them "scenters" now adays.

sweet! now to get a bunch of these modules filled with nasty scents like Skunk and cow crap and hide them in offices of people I don't like. hilarity will ensue!

Am I the only one that thinks these look like suppositories (sp?)(or think that's one potential application lol)?

Yeah jfow, looks like you're on the money with this comment. I must say it looks like a perfect use for wireless communication technology.
Lightly scenting a hotel room with a scent chosen by the client during check-in, switch it on from the reception desk before they even get up to their room... Sounds like a great idea.
