And we put each three of these through the teleportation process, which is you show that scent to a device that was specially tuned and set up to analyze the molecular content of that smell.

The data was uploaded to the cloud and analyzed by the AI systems that we built.

And really it's AI for scent.

We call that olfactory intelligence or OI.

And then it was reprinted on our smell printer, which we had custom programs to work with the fragrance ingredients that we see in the real world.

And the first smell that came off was plum.

And it was absolutely engrossing and transporting that I was smelling this blotter dipped into a vial of clear liquid.

And I was having the visceral sensory experience of biting into a fresh summer plum, like the kind with the snap.

When you bite into it, it's still firm.

It's a bit tannic.

But like my whole kind of consciousness was filled with the experience of having just bought into a snappy, of just having bought into it.

My sensory experience was filled with the experience of biting into a fresh summer plum that still had a snap to it.

And I was like, wow, my gosh, it works.

Like no human was involved in actually looking at the data.

It was all instrumentation and robotics and software.

And we actually transported data.

a plum from one room to the other.

It was incredible.

Fellow manga nerd.

Yeah.
