Customized Voice-Activated Fresheners

Voice-Activated 'FragWrap' Lets You Choose Any Scent

— July 29, 2013 — Art & Design
A device called 'FragWrap' gives users a customized air freshener experience.

While home and car fresheners do come in a variety of scents to ensure everyone can find one they like, this machine takes personalized customation to a whole new level. Created in Japan, 'FragWrap' is voice-activated. When you tell the device what you're in the mood for, for example your favorite perfume, the device will then create the scent of your choice, and release a bunch of bubbles carrying the smell. Just as regular bubbles pop, these one will too; but instead of being gone forever, the scent is distributed around the room for a lasting aroma.

Although the design is a bit bulky, if you're a fan of air fresheners, the 'FragWrap' is perfect because you no longer have to continuously buy boxes of air fresheners.

1. Personalized Air Fresheners - Companies can explore opportunities in creating personalized air fresheners that cater to individual preferences, using technology like voice-activated systems to enhance the experience.

3. Customizable Home Appliances - The 'FragWrap' demonstrates the potential for innovation in the field of customizable home appliances, opening up opportunities for other appliances that can be customized based on user preferences and settings.
Industry Implications
1. Home Fragrance Industry - The home fragrance industry can explore developing voice-activated systems for their products, creating more personalized and convenient air fresheners.
2. Consumer Electronics Industry - The consumer electronics industry can explore opportunities to integrate voice-activated systems into various home appliances, such as air conditioners, heaters, and refrigerators.
3. Smart Home Industry - The FragWrap highlights the potential for disruptive innovation in the smart home industry, and companies can explore developing personalized home automation systems that cater to individual preferences.
