AI Breaks the Sound Barrier: And now Smells, Tastes, and Touches!

Have your devices tickle your senses…Literally!

Dust off your top hats and monocles because we’re about to board the time machine. Back in 1927, audiences were awestruck by the first audible dialogue in a feature film – a blend of sight and sound. We’ve matured since then but our media still primarily, if not exclusively, caters to our eyes and ears only. But science says it’s time to level up and make way for a multisensory experience. You might not smell a rat in the next mob flick but you’ll definitely smell mom’s apple pie cooling on the window sill in the next hallmark movie, if the sci-fi future I’m envisioning progresses as such.

Key Takeaways:

– Our reliance on sight and sound is detrimental to our wellbeing according to our lab-coat-wearing brainiacs. Maybe it’s time to get our noses into the smartphones, eh, in a cool way, not the creepy huffing way!
– Ever since sound made its first appearance in films in 1927 with “The Jazz Singer”, sight and sound have dominated the media, baton-twirling its way into the 21st century.
– Tech advancements have been pouring in, from black and white to colour, improved frame rates, better resolutions, and even sound quality.
– However, our media consumption still mostly relies on the dynamic duo of our ears and eyes. Yeah, they’re great, but it’s starting to become a one too many superhero movies situation, ain’t it?
– Scientists believe that our devices should deliver a multisensory experience. Can you imagine how much easier it would get to choose a menu while ordering online if you could actually smell the dishes, I’m drooling just thinking about it!

Wrapping Up

In conclusion, smells like change is in the air. Our media is about to start a new sensory revolution beyond the confines of sight and sound. We might soon be stepping into an era of a multisensory experience pumped directly into our devices. Tech companies, hopefully, will not make a mess of this, like the time when we got those 3D glasses that literally did nothing but give you a headache. The future looks, smells, sounds, feels, and tastes promising. Here’s hoping for scratch-n-sniff screens and taste-o-vision monitors, but until then, enjoy your two senses and keep wishing for the rest!
