Scenti-photo

This project is intended to create a design fiction discoursing a possible future where scents are automatically being recorded as metadata, and utilized to trigger people's memories and reminiscent their passed away family member.

In the story, a digital photo frame is used to help a girl to reminiscent her passed-away husband by emitting a strawberry smell recorded in their old selfie photo. It helped her to recall the memory vividly at the beginning, and it felt good. The connection of the scent and memory started to be enhanced every time she used the scent-photo, so she can easily recall the memory as long as she senses the strawberry scent. 

Things became to be unexpected, and even when she didn't want to recall the memory, every time she drink a strawberry milkshake, or yogurt the memory and emotion came again and again. Finally it drives her crazy, and there is no way to stop it!
