Quale is small, intellegent device that sits quietly within our<br />
environments. It subtly and subconsciously directs our attention to and from important,<br />
constantly updating information. It learns our habits and routines through observation. It<br />
provides direction through times <strong>of</strong> stress and <strong>of</strong>fers inspiration during more relaxed times.<br />
It does this by paying attention to our behaviour and to our external influences.<br />
This product harnesses the ability <strong>of</strong> smell to evoke and to constantly update our perceptive<br />
states. Presently, we infuse our environments with a static smell to make us feel, well<br />
whatever it says on the tin, but if our environment's smellscape is in constant flux, our perceptive<br />
states could also be more dynamic too.<br />
Quale is a device and system that gives meaning to each <strong>of</strong> the individual smells that<br />
make up our environment. The selection <strong>of</strong> smells that is contained within the device is replaceable<br />
and is varied. Its physical form encourages haptic interaction.<br />
Quale is an innovative form <strong>of</strong> multimedia equipment.<br />
