What is "Smell"?
Smell is the sense. There are several steps that a person takes to “feel” a smell. First, molecules that cause smell enter the nasal cavity and reach the olfactory receptors located at the back of the nose. After that, receptors that catch those molecules emit signals according to the molecules. The signal is transmitted to the olfactory cortex in the brain, and it is said that the sense of smell is generated by identifying the smell there.
Current Situation Surrounding “Smell”
In smell to study smell science, it is necessary to reproduce these olfactory mechanisms. However, what can be measured with general olfactory sensors is currently limited to distinguishing the types of smell molecules. REVORN aims to reproduce the human sense of smell by using AI to identify the collected smell data.

07. Society
Contributing to the creation of a safe society through smells
For example, detection dogs detect smells. More than 100 drug detection dogs are active in Japan to prevent drug smuggling. A world where illegal drugs can be detected 24 hours a day, 365 hours a day without borrowing their noses.
08. Lifestyle
Express freely with fragrance
Visualize your favorite scent with data. AI will make recommendations according to the data, so you can create your own scent more freely and easily without the help of a perfumer.
