Olfacta:  a Speculative Design Project
Mixed Media Exhibition



Olfacta is a speculative design project that imagines a future where people connect in real life through biotechnology and scent, replacing the digital-forward nature of dating apps with an intuitive, sensory-driven encounter.

The final project is an interactive display that guides viewers through the evolution of dating apps, explores how Olfacta could redefine the industry, and evaluates its potential success using Everett Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovations theory.
