So our map is not three-dimensional like RGB, it's about 300-dimensional, which is, I think, why scent had to wait for artificial intelligence to be digitized, is because it's just more complicated. And we'll then decode that coordinate into a scent profile. We'll show you where the scent lives in the map of like the 100 top mass market hits.

And then I'll show you the source code of the fragrance. And if we have something similar to it, we can actually go grab it and smell it. So... And this is, by the way, this is a multi-month process that we're condensing down into minutes.

The mountain peak is something you can hold in your hand, like your AirPods and your phone, that can read the chemical slice of reality, capture scent moments, tell you if you need to go to the doctor, tell you what vitamins to take, to really read scent, and then another device that can recreate it.
