The iSmell is a peripheral device, about the size of a PC speaker that connects to a PC via a serial or USB port.
It uses consumable cartridges which are used and replaced similar to the way ink jet printers use ink cartridges.
It emits natural-based vapors into the user's personal space.
ISmell is triggered either on demand by the user (via a keyboard or mouse action) or via a timed or programmed response (as in DVD ScentTrack)
