By next Valentine's Day, virtual roses will be as sniff-worthy as the real thing; thanks to Sandeep Jaidka, an Indian inventor who has been granted a US patent for virtual smells and sensations. His invention called the Rudraksh R3- has been awarded a US patent for both the device and the process used for producing these effects. With global research organisations and MNC's sinking $12000m into similar research efforts, the Delhi based inventor could well sniff his way to the bank. The impersonal e-cards and greetings of today will have sweet smell of chocolate wafling across to your beloved one. Coded signals to produce the effect of waterfalls, gardens, mountains, deserts, animals, forests and even household smells from the kitchen are embeded onto an electronic coder.
