    Sadly, the realaroma.com site is down, but the wayback machine still has it.

    The picture of the SmellU-SmellMe software is priceless.

    Good lord, does this really date to 1996? "I grow old, I grow old, I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled." -- T.S. Eliot.

  2. Smell-U Smell-Me will survive by Wee · · Score: 1 · on F'd Companies
    SmellU SmellMe(R), the premiere Aroma Conferencing software, is coming soon from RealAroma. It'll be big. Big! I tell you...

  3. You mean RATML? by qwerpoiu · · Score: 1 · on Tactile the Future of GUI?
    Real Aroma:

    RealAroma(R) introduces a whole new dimension to the man/machine interface game. The dimension of smell. With the RealAroma Drive(TM), and RATML (SM) (Real Aroma Text Markup Language) you can share smells in real time, over the Internet, with olfactory buddies all over the globe. Because all smell conversion is done locally in the RealAroma Drive(C) itself, bandwidth requirements are extremely low and even users of embarassing 14.4k baud modems can enjoy the odors you concoct.

    This all seems so futuristic and fantastical? It is, but the fantastic future has arrived. Our patented 3-Vile(TM) System allows us to precisely control the amount and "flavor" of each and every smell. And because it's digital, you can sniff your favorite smell anytime with the click of a mouse. Teamed up with the RATML protocol, you can now communicate with smell, just as you do with words, pitures and sounds. Here are some of the features:

    • Long-Lasting, "no residue" Formula
    • Modern Design
    • SCSI Interface
    • Firewall Support
    • Open Architecture
    Be sure to see the Developers' Page

  5. Six Days?!? by hubbabubba · · Score: 1 · on Million Man LAN

    Man, them's gonna be some crusty gamers by Day Six. I think they should do a live webcast of the whole thing. Just imagine the thrill of watching gamers play against 5,000 other gamers. If they'd ever get RealAroma into production, it would even smell like you were there. Haw hawww hawwwwwww... *thud*

    You always wanted to be able to alternately smell and talk/see to you online companion, and now you can. You think that 16 year old is really a man? Now you can be sure with SmellU-SmellMe, coming soon from RealAroma.com! You just can't be sure until you get a whiff of either Tommy Girl or Old Spice.

  8. Remember RealAroma? by Dominic_Mazzoni · · Score: 1 · on Smell Mail to Replace E-mail?

    A similar site, RealAroma, appeared three and a half years ago (I remember, because I interned at RealNetworks that summer) and I thought their site was bad enough then. Especially their 3-"vile" system to reproduce smells and their "Smell-U, Smell-Me" software for all-too-live aromaconferencing. Digiscents seems to have very nice site design, but I still don't believe it's for real.

  9. Don't forget RealAroma by Saucepan · · Score: 1 · on Smell Mail to Replace E-mail?

    RealAroma had a hilarious parody in this vein waaay back in '96. I think it's kinda cool that someone's going to actually do it.

  10. Real Aroma? by Cuthalion · · Score: 2 · on Smell Mail to Replace E-mail?

    I'm not sure which is funnier, a real attempt to do this or this parody (which incidently has been around for years by now).

  11. realaroma.com by yerricde · · Score: 1 · on Digital Nose

    realaroma.com may have something about this. However, it eerily resembles GenitalDrive...

    Now what's on the smellevision tonight?
