A different type of exhibit

This article doesn't talk so much about computers or social media, but about how existing technology is being used to create a different type of exhibition: An olfactory exhibit about the history of perfume that uses diffusers (a very ordinary invention today) to release small amounts of the scent in question into an area the guest can enjoy.

I thought this was a great example of how using ordinary everyday machinery and equipment can still provide a unique experience.
